The Green Road

A glance at the rearview mirror And the town lights blur and fade The storms roll in like old familiar ghosts And the roads take on a hint of jade Follow the green road, to get some local color Follow the green road, and take time to discover Follow the green road, past where the hedges end Follow the green road, all around Ireland The Kerry coast is a sight to behold And in its rings history unfolds But just off the road there are stories to be told In ancient ruins made of stone Follow the green road, to get some local color Follow the green road, and take time to discover Follow the green road, past where the hedges end Follow the green road, all around Ireland From Cahersiveen to Portmagee, Derrynane to Kenmare town Winding down the N70, headed to Muckross House Make a left or a right on any road in sight, Down where the barley grows No matter the weather, nothing could be better Than a trip down Kerry's green roads The bushes are six feet high And the road is one lane wide And you can't see 'round the bends But there's an old Abbey where the road ends Follow the green road, to get some local color Follow the green road, and take time to discover Follow the green road, past where the hedges end Follow the green road, all around Ireland Follow the green road, to get some local color Follow the green road, and take time to discover Follow the green road, past where the hedges end Follow the green road, all around Ireland
