Saw Doctors (The)
N17
Well I dident see much future
When I left the Christian Brothers School
So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
An I left the girls of Tuam
Sometimes when I'm reminiscing
I see the pre-fabs and my old friends
An I know that they'll be changed or gone
by the time I get home again
An I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grass is green)
Travellin with just my thoughts and dreams
Well the oul-fella left me to Shannon
Was the last time I travelled that road
And as we turned left at Claregalway
I could feel a lump in my throat
As I picture the thousands of times
That I travelled that well-worn track
I know that things will be different
If I ever decide to go back
An I wish.....
Now as I tumble down highways
Or filthy, over-crowded trains
There's no-one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and day-dream in vain
SongtexteBehind all these muddled-up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists, the turns in the road
From the Square to the town of the tribes
An I wish I was on that N17.......
