Seven years since I took the road
Caught the magic bus aboardIn the cities there is
worlds
Of wonderful stuffI've taken some trips
And I've captured the buzzBut I've had enough of this
crowded placeToo many people, not enough space
I've got some songs I'd like to put downI hear Kenny's
got 24 tracks nowOh, you as God, I'm telling you
straight
I'm on my way and I just can't waitFor the air and the
bed in my old room
'Cause I'm going back to Tuam,I'm going back to
Tuam,I'm going back to Tuam
I miss the walking up the street,
Every few yards there's someone to meetWill you go for
a lunch
Or I might have twoThe port tastes great in the
afternoonOh myself and herself have broken up
I know you'll all say that it's all for luck
And that time is a healer, it heals our woundsI hope it
starts on mine real soon
Oh, you as God, I'm telling you straightI'm on my way
and I just can't wait
For the air and the bed in my old room
'Cause I'm going back to Tuam,I'm going back to
Tuam,I'm going back to Tuam
And they moved across the musty lakesWalking around the
square
And someone told me Joel Back's skirtedHe's gone to God
knows whereAre the football dreams still standing
After last Sunday's matchIs the Rusty Vaults still the
sameIs there music in the patch
Oh, you as God, I'm telling you straightI'm on my way
and I just can't wait
For the air and the bed in my old room
'Cause I'm going back to Tuam,
I'm going back to Tuam,I'm going back to
Oh, you as God, I'm telling you straight,I'm on my way
and I just can't wait,
For the air and the bed in my old room,'Cause I'm going
back to Tuam,I'm going back to Tuam,I'm going back,
My bags are packed,I'm going back to Tuam
