Dropkick Murphys Homeward Bound Lyrics

Homeward Bound Lyrics

i've seen street corner preachers spending discharge pay between periods of
getting stiff and happy tipplers singing songs of discontentment with each and
every passing sip from the bookmaker's clerk on the rowdy racing circuit known
as tom sharkey's brawling bar to the tenders at the pubs and illegal sporting
clubs in this town i call my home you see, i come from a family who more or
less traditionally sends its boys off to serve uncle sam "obey your orders and
protect your country" said this father to his disheartened son i've traveled
over seas, seen forks in the road from ravena to the pubs near cunard pier but
the things were'nt the same, as the place where i became, a man in this town i
call my home.
