Lyrics

Well, I didn't see much future

When I left the Christian Brothers School

So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile

And I left the girls of Tuam

And sometimes when I'm reminiscing

I see the prefabs and my old friends

And I know that they'll be changed or gone

By the time I get home again

And I wish I was on that N17

(Stone walls and the grass is green)

Yes, I wish I was on that N17

(Stone walls and the grass is green)

Traveling with just my thoughts and dreams

Well, the old fella left me to Shannon

Was the last time I traveled that road

And as we turned left at Claregalway

I could feel a lump in my throat

As I pictured the thousands of times

That I traveled that well-worn track

And I know that things would be different

If I ever decide to go back

And I wish I was on that N17

(Stone walls and the grass is green)

Yes, I wish I was on that N17

(Stone walls and the grass is green)

Traveling with just my thoughts and dreams

Now as I tumble down highways

Or filthy overcrowded trains

There's no one to talk to in transit

So I sit there and daydream in vain

And behind all these muddled up problems

Of living on a foreign soil

I can still see the twists and turns on the road

From the square to the town of the tribes

And I wish I was on that N17

(Stone walls and the grass is green)

Yes, I wish I was on that N17

(Stone walls and the grass is green)

Traveling with just my thoughts and dreams

Oh, just traveling with my thoughts and dreams

Stone walls and the grass is green

Stone walls and the grass is green

Stone walls and the grass is green

Stone walls and the grass is green, yeah
