I left my home up in the hills far behind me

I left my wife with unpaid bills, she can't find me

I'm trying out the world for size

Find that it's not paradise, it's lonely, oh oh

Now for twenty days and twenty nights, I've been alone

City ways are strange to me, I can't make it

For it's not like it ought to be, and I can't take it

I've gotta face the truth one day

A man can't always run away from trouble, no

Now for twenty days and twenty nights

I've been a fool

One day soon I'm goin' back, where she still mind me

(Still mind me)

Ah, when I'm out of line and off the track, but that's behind me

(Behind me)

I fooled around and did it well

But I just couldn't ring the bell without her, no

It's taken twenty days and twenty nights

To prove me wrong and make her right

Twenty days and twenty nights

I was wrong and she was right, all along

And I miss her (twenty days and twenty nights)

Oh, how I miss her
