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 lineHalfway 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 thereDid you fly a million miles
for every single one that I ran?
I don't know which of us is crazy
Oh, sweet baby
That's the madness I desireAnd 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 lightsI'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 thereSo, do we keep runnin' through the motions, baby?
Knowin' that one day's gonna come maybe
When you can't keep your pretty mouth from sayin'
I wanna go home
I wait on the Emerald Isle
For you to come and rescue me
