Subject: Lyr Add: DON'T WAKE ME UP TILL WE TOUCH DOWN IN SH
Thanks a lot my friend. Much appreciated.
1. If Route 66 passed through Kilarney,
If a Mississippi riverboat churned waves in Dublin Bay,
If they had a rodeo down there in Bandon,
This ramblin' fool never would have strayed.
CHORUS: Don't wake me up till we touch down in Shannon.
Let my homesick heart rest for a while.
No freeways, parkin' lots, or drive-ins,
I just can't wait to walk an Irish mile.
2. They told me the grass would be greener,
But it was not as green as the grass I left behind.
I headed for Montana, but I longed for Buncrana.
I couldn't get old Ireland off my mind.
(CHORUS X 2)
You know I just can't wait to walk an Irish mile.
