Chords:
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
And 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 that N 17
Stone walls and the grasses green
Yes I wish I was on that N 17
Stone walls and the grasses green
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Well the old 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'd travelled that well worn track
And I know that things will be different
If I ever decide to go back

Now as I tumble down highways
Or filthy overcrowded trains
There's no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
And behind all these muddled up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and turns in the road
From the square to the town of the tribes
