It was a different kind of world
Heaven was a game of football
Before I ever kissed the girls
We used to go out driving
We'd travel near and far
Nearly every Sunday in me
Father's oul' ford car
He'd be pointing out the landmarks
Everywhere we'd go, through the
Twistings, turning, winding roads
Of Galway and Mayo
Me mother in the front seat
Children in the back
We'd be imagining Indians in the
Fields waiting to attack
And we'd be asking " are we nearly there?"
Wearing clothes that came
In a parcel from America,
The two of us the same
He'd be pointing........
There's a stillness in the summer
Air, sheep dog lying in the sun
Three young girls with butterfly nets
Break into a run
Now the time flies by like always
I've got my own boy right now
Like cowboys in the oul' corolla
We go and drive around
The land was let go lately
But I take him out that way
I show him where we cut the turf
And where we saved the hay
And I'll be pointing out
The landmarks.........
Hardly anyone had the tele' It was a different kind of world Heaven was a game of football Before I ever kissed the girls We used to go out driving We'd travel near and far Nearly every Sunday in me Father's oul' ford car He'd be pointing out the landmarks Everywhere we'd go, through the Twistings, turning, winding roads Of Galway and Mayo Me mother in the front seat Children in the back We'd be imagining Indians in the Fields waiting to attack And we'd be asking " are we nearly there?" Wearing clothes that came In a parcel from America, The two of us the same He'd be pointing........ There's a stillness in the summer Air, sheep dog lying in the sun Three young girls with butterfly nets Break into a run Now the time flies by like always I've got my own boy right now Like cowboys in the oul' corolla We go and drive around The land was let go lately But I take him out that way I show him where we cut the turf And where we saved the hay And I'll be pointing out The landmarks.........
