Nothing to Show for It All

I've been too long away from your lovin'
Too long with my back to the wall
I've been to some far away places
And got nothing to show for it all
I've been too long away from this country
Too long not heeding the call
Now I'm home like a war weary soldier
And nothing to show for it all
I've been to their sights and show cases
I've been through their strong city halls
There's men with black suits and no faces
And nothing to show for it all
I've been too long away from this country
Too long not heeding your call
Now I'm home like some war weary soldier
With nothing to show for it all
I've heard all the stories they tell ya
Some I can hardly recall
It's hard when the tide turns against
It's all you can do not to fall
I've been too long away from this country
Too young not heeding the call
Now I'm home like a war weary soldier
With nothing to show for it all
I've been through the jibe and the jestery
I've laughed at their jokes through it all
They say get back to the place where you came from
You've got nothing to give after all
I've been too long away from this country
Too long not heeding the call
Now I'm home like a war weary soldier
With nothing to show for it all
Too long away from this country
Too long not heeding your call
But breath easy there's someone there waiting
Someone who cares after all
