I wait on the Emerald Isle
For you to come and rescue me
From every step I can't make
Feet don't you ever break
Drag me over that line
Halfway around the medicine ball
Is far enough to blow me back
Like you broke the bank on the ticket
Worth every damn nickel
Well you got me that time
Cause I've been on the road one day too long
Can't hear the record for another sad song
Look at all these faces
Can't all be wrong
That's a lot of my heart out there
Did you fly a million miles for every single one that I ran?
I don't know which of us is crazier
Oh sweet baby that's the madness I desire
And there's a twinkle in the Clifton sky
Been there forever
And lights the way for the runners
The jackals and the lovers
And the broken street light
Cause I've been on the road one day too long
Can't hear the record for another sad song
Look at all these faces
Can't all be wrong
That's a lot of my heart out there
So do we keep running through the motions baby?
No, and that someday's gotta come
Maybe when you can't keep your pretty mouth from saying,
"I want to go home"
I wait on the Emerald Isle
For you to come and rescue me
