Well I kept hearing my friends saying They want trouble And sure enough there'd be violence In the future Some blood then we'd all go home Hung in Boston with some boys Too loud for living Every weekend swung some punches Won't be forgiven Maybe so, guess I'll never know But love will carry me home Love will carry me home Love will carry me home And I won't be back no more Well I grew older and moved away From all that trouble Sure didn't miss it Didn't realize I could escape it Some towns You don't choose your friends You're young They're just around you back then But love will carry me home Love will carry me home Love will carry me home And I won't be back no more But there's times You take your head and you hang it Set in your way, should be ashamed You ask for forgiveness But in who's name But love will carry me home Love will carry me home Love will carry me home And I won't be back no more
