The Saw Doctors - N17 lyrics

Well I didn't see much future When I left the Christian brothers school So i waved it goodbye with a wistful smile And I left the girls of Tuam Sometimes when I'm reminiscing I see the prefabs and my old friends And I know that they'll be changed or gone By the time I get home again. And I wish I was on the n17 Stone walls and the gra** is greener Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams Well the ould 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 pictured the thousands of times That I traveled that well worn track And I know that things will be different If I ever decide to go back And i wish i was on that N17 Stone walls and the gra** is green yeah Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams And now as I tumble down highways Or on filthy overcrowded trains There's no one to talk to in transit So I sit there and daydream in vain Behind all those muddled up problems Of living on a foreign soil I can still see the twists and the turns on the road From the square to the town of the tribes
