IntroVerse 1I Didn't Sleep At All Last Night,I Stayed Up 'Til The Dawn,Banging Out The Jigs And Reels 'Til Everyone Had Gone,Singing Some Old Shut-Eyed Songs I Hadn't Sung For Years,Knocking Back The Brandy And The Beer.ChorusBack Across The Ocean To My Home Away From HomeI'm Glad To Be Returning But Sad To Have To GoI'd Like To Find A Way To Be Two Places At One TimeIt's Easy Going Back Again But It's Hard To Say GoodbyeVerse 2I Had One Bag Too Many Just As I Was Set To LeaveI Was Loaded Down With Bacon And With Sausages And TeaAnd I Couldn't Find My Ticket As I'm Walking Out The Door'Til I Emptied All My Bags Out On The Floor.ChorusBack Across The Ocean To My Home Away From HomeI'm Glad To Be Returning But Sad To Have To GoI'd Like To Find A Way To Be Two Places At One TimeIt's Easy Going Back Again But It's Hard To Say GoodbyeBreakVerse 3On Board The Plane I Sipped A Drink While Waiting For The Meal,Just Trying Not To Let My Head Know How My Stomach Feels.There's A Baby Right Behind Me Making Sure That I Won't SleepAnd The Flight's Too Full To Find Another Seat.ChorusBack Across The Ocean To My Home Away From HomeI'm Glad To Be Returning But Sad To Have To GoI'd Like To Find A Way To Be Two Places At One TimeIt's Easy Going Back Again But It's Hard To Say GoodbyeVerse 4I Fell Asleep At Last Just As The Plane Is Touching DownAnd I Age Ten Years While Waiting For The Bags To Come AroundAnd I Make It Home At Last And I'm Barely Unpacked WhenI'm Already Making Plans To Go Again.ChorusBack Across The Ocean To My Home Away From HomeI'm Glad To Be Returning But Sad To Have To GoI'd Like To Find A Way To Be Two Places At One TimeIt's Easy Going Back Again But It's Hard To Say GoodbyeChorusBack Across The Ocean To My Home Away From HomeI'm Glad To Be Returning But Sad To Have To GoI'd Like To Find A Way To Be Two Places At One TimeIt's Easy Going Back Again But It's Hard To Say GoodbyeOutro
