Take me away from the city
Lead me to where I can be on my own
I wanted to see yo u and know that I have
I just want t o be lef t alone
I'll always rememb er your kind words
And I'mm still remember you r name
But I've seen you've ch anging and turning
And I know that things jus t won't be the same
I reme mber that s ummer in Dublin
And the Liffey a s it stank like hell
And the young walk ing on Grafton Street
Everyone lo oking so well
I was si nging a son g I heard somewhere
Called Rock'n'Rol l never forgets
When my humming w as smothered by a 46A
And the scream of th e low flying jets
So I jumpe d on a b us to Dungleary
Stopping off to pic k up my guitar
When a drunk on the bu s told me how to get rich
I was glad we were n't going to far
So I lea ving on Wednesday morning
And trying to f ind a place where I can hear
The wind and the birds and the sea and the rocks
And the op en road is always near
And if sometimes I 'm tired of the quiet
And I want to walk back up that hill
I'll just get on the ro ad and I'll stick out my thumb
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
