Lyrics

Monterey, I always thought I’d go back home to Monterey…
I’d never dreamed it’d end this way well Monterey 
just a single year away and then…
I’d come back to you
I’d have so much to say oh well Monterey 
I’d tell you all about the time I spent away
Fighting for our freedom in a world away


And now that I am gone
I can see everything 
you never know the price you’ll pay

I did my best but I can’t change a thing
I never meant to stay
And I’m sorry love, I’m sorry that I’ve gone away

But Monterey, I always thought I’d go back home to Monterey 


Before I left, I told you don’t forget to pray
but I suppose God had other plans for me 
I’m headed out and this time I ain’t goin back
to Monterey


Now that I am gone 
I can see everything 
you never know the price you’ll pay

I did my best but I can’t change a thing
I never meant to stay
And I’m sorry love, I’m sorry that I’ve gone away

Monterey, I always thought I’d go back home to Monterey...
