Ballymun RoadLyrics by Brent HoadI didn't start with any plan now I'm free Didn't choose any way to go it chose me She's a woman with a few regrets, but sometimes she forgets The best that she can do is let it be I signed up with my sergeant on the square He said I'd see the world over there I've got to keep believin' in the day our flag will rise again And hope those widowed mothers even care So down I go, Ballymun Road I'm no good to you anyhow I've got my wits I've got my tongue It's too late to turn back now Down I go, Ballymun Road Now you've got yours and darlin' I've got mine Let's have that one last round for old times I know you've got someplace to go And I'm shippin' out this one man show And leavin' Dublin city far behind So down I go, Ballymun Road I'm no good to you anyhow I've got my wits I've got my tongue It's too late to turn back now Down I go, Ballymun Road Someday I'll build my house right where I stand And I'll live within the law if I can I'll work my field ‘til the sun goes down And have a drink with the boys in town It's all that I was born to understand So down I go, Ballymun Road I'm no good to you anyhow I've got my wits I've got my tongue It's too late to turn back now Down I go, Ballymun Road Close This Window |
