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 ohh

Now for twenty days and twenty nights, I've been alone
And that ain't right without her

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
Man can't always run away from trouble

No, now for twenty days and twenty nights, I've been a fool
And that ain't right without her

Oh, 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
(Twenty days and twenty nights)
Oh, how I miss her
(Twenty days and twenty nights)
Oh, how I miss her
(Twenty days and twenty nights)
