Homeward Bound Lyrics - Singles - Dropkick Murphys

I've seen street corner preachers spending' discharge pay 

Between periods of gettin' stiff 

And happy tipplers singing' songs of discontent 

With each and every passion' sip 

From the bookmaker's clerk on the rowdy racing' circuit 

Known as Tom Sharkey's brawling' bar 

To the tenders at the pubs through the illegal sporting clubs 

In this town, I call my home 

You see, I come from a family who more or less traditionally 

Sends it's boys off to serve Uncle Sam 

"Obey your orders and protect your country", said this father to his Disheartened son 

You see, I've traveled overseas, seen forks in the road from Raven to the Pubs near Cunard Pier 

But the things weren't the same, at the place where I became 

A man in this town, I call my home 

I'm goin' home 

I've seen street corner preachers, spending' discharge pay 

Between periods of gettin' stiff 

And happy tipplers singing' songs of discontent 

With each and every passion' 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 

To the tenders at the pubs and illegal sporting clubs 

In this town I call my home
