Blood Or Whiskey

Blood Or Whiskey - Good lyrics

I was thinking of home as the bus pulled away

Take me to the Cape and you knowing what I had to do

And the sun it beat down all along the highway

As I thought about the day when I told you I would stay

I was trying just to find the words to tell you

That I had to go and leave it all behind

I had to go back to the land where I had come from

I'd lost what I came to find had to leave it all behind

And the lights of old Boston still shine on you now

Where you'll be what they want you to be

Yeah the lights of old Boston still shine on you now

And you know in your heart in your heart you must be free

Goodbye my girl don't you know I hate to leave you

Goodbye my girl and I hate to see you cry

Goodbye my girl don't you know I hate to leave you

But it's better this way to say goodbye

You were smiling when you met me at the station

And I wondered if you'd cry when I told you I would die

If I had to stay one more week in this nation

It's the land of the free but not where I want to be

And you asked me if I loved you more than Ireland

And to tell the truth the answer it was no

Cause I just knew that I could never make this my land

In the home of the brave I would only find a grave

As I got aboard the plane my heart was breaking

As I left you there in pain with no words that could explain

Why I had to make to make the journey I was making

Had to leave you alone but then how could you have known

All the things I was feeling deep inside me

As I sat there I wondered how

I could love a country more than I could love you

As the plane took off and flew I just knew that it was true
