"Back To Tuam" lyrics

Seven years since I took the road
Caught the magic bus abroad
In the cities there is worlds of wonderful stuff
I've taken some trips and I've captured the buzz
But I've had enough of this crowded place
Too many people, not enough space
I've got some songs I'd like to put down
I hear Kenny's got 24 tracks now

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 to Tuam

I miss the walking up the street
Every few yards there's someone to meet
Will you go for a lunch or I might have two
The port tastes great in the afternoon
Oh, 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 wounds
I hope it starts on mine real soon

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 to Tuam

And they moved across the musty lakes
Walking around the square
And someone told me Joel Back's skirted
He's gone to God knows where
Are the football dreams still standing
After last Sunday's match
Is the Rusty Vaults still the same
Is there music in the patch

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 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
