Elizabeth my one true love
Americkay's not what Ireland was
The summers are hot and the winters too cold
It's not the paradise that we were told
Do the Irish hills caress you?
Is the ocean between us too far?
Cause Boston's long nights make it seem like you're so far.
So here I am now
There's not much time
Do the rivers and lakes engulf you?
Do you consider me just a scar?
How Boston's long nights make it seem like you're so far.
You bastard you drunkard you don't understand!
The grass got much greener in old Ireland
You asked me to come then you left on your way
To that big bright new future in Americkay
May the road rise up to meet you
May your heart find the peace that you've earned
May the wind be at your back cause your bridges have burned
So here I am now
There's not much time
May the road rise up to meet you
May your heart find the peace that you've earned
May the wind be at your back cause your bridges have burned
So here i am now
There's not much time
May the road rise up to meet you
May your heart find the peace that you've earned
May the wind be at your back cause your bridges have burned
(Hey! Hey!)
I don't need you anymore
(Hey! Hey!)
I did all this for you, you whore
(Hey! Hey!)
And don't come back again
(Hey! Hey!)
I can see this is the end
Well truth be told I don't blame you
There's a lot of things that I put you through
I realize I was a silly young girl
You leaving me let me inherit the world
May the road rise up to meet you
May your heart find the peace that you've earned
May the wind be at your back cause your bridges have burned
Here I am now
There's not much time
May the road rise up to meet you
May your heart find the peace that you've earned
May the wind be at your back cause your bridges have burned
