SOMETHING BETTER
(kevin gilfoy)

(chorus)
If you run them off
It will truly be your loss
Once they're gone, they're gone forever
So you can have your rocks
And your precious bloody flocks
For my boys are bound for something better

Well they called us down
To this little lowland town
The lord even came in from the Manor
Then he said to every man
That you're not wanted on his land
And the ships are waiting in the harbour

(chorus)

As for me I could stay
And while my time away
For I'm old and my best years are behind me
But my boys need land
To satisfy their idle hands
So I guess we'll pack and start our journey

(chorus)

There soon will come a day
That they wished that we had stayed
That we had stayed right here and raised our families
For it's the heart of a man
That gives life to sterile land
Not a lord who dwells in foreign countries

(chorus)
