[Verse 1]
Sitting at a lonely bar
In an unfamiliar town
Missing words of songs I heard
But never wrote them down
Thinkin' of the folks at home
I promised I'd be back
That they'll know I'm done
I'm just here for the crack
Away
Our people have been leavin' now
For centuries before
Tried to find a better life
Upon a foreign shore
Now it's us, a generation
Forced to do the same
Building dreams with bricks and beams
Exports once again
[Chorus]
Away
Away
Away
Away
My home from home
(Home from home)
My home from home
Away
[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong
I wish that I could transfer home, dear
To reminisce of those I miss
Has often brought a tear
But friends I've met along this road
Have made me finally see
The more I stray, I'm here to stay
Happy not to be
[Chorus]
Away
Away
Away
Away
My home from home
(My home from home)
My home from home
Home away
[Verse 3]
It's taken all this time to work out
Where I'm meant to be
The road's been long
But it's made me strong
Now I finally see
Still sitting at the [?] bar
With a feeling of content
How much I've grown
These years from home
I'm happy to have spent
[Chorus]
Away
Away
Away
Away
Away
(Away, away)
Away
My home from home
My home from home
(Away)
