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 N17
(Stone walls and the grass is green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grass is green)
Traveling with just my thoughts and dreams
Well, the old fella left me to Shannon
Was the last time I traveled 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 would be different
If I ever decide to go back
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grass is green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grass is green)
Traveling with just my thoughts and dreams
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 on the road
From the square to the town of the tribes
And I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grass is green)
Yes, I wish I was on that N17
(Stone walls and the grass is green)
Traveling with just my thoughts and dreams
Oh, just traveling with my thoughts and dreams
ย
Stone walls and the grass is green
Stone walls and the grass is green
Stone walls and the grass is green
Stone walls and the grass is green, yeah
