Don't Offer Me My Youth Back
Don't offer me my youth back
Cause I already spent it
Don't tell me where I'm supposed to go
Cause this is where I'm supposed to be
And I know life ain't no movie
But this ain't a dream
So damn it I ain't going nowhere
So let the ripples take me
As long as I can see the Emerald Isle
And let the waves surround me
Let that salt bite heal my wounds
And I danced with a herring choker's daughter
At sunset on the beach
And I played my guitar
And I cried out
From the top of the highest hilltop
Where the wind never stops
So don't offer me my youth back
Cause I already spent it
Don't tell me where I'm supposed to go
Cause this is where I'm supposed to be
And I know life ain't no movie
But this ain't a dream
So damn it I ain't going nowhere
So don't tell me where it all went wrong
Just take me back to the hills
And maybe stay a while with me
Bright red strawberries
And the crashing blue sea
And the blinding white sand
And the black of your hair as the rain fell down
So don't offer me my youth back
Cause I already spent it
Don't tell me where I'm supposed to go
Cause this is where I'm supposed to be
And I know life ain't no movie
But this ain't a dream
So damn it I ain't going nowhere
No I ain't going nowhere
(I ain't going nowhere)
Damn it I ain't going nowhere
No I ain't going nowhere
So let the ripples take me
As long as I can see the Emerald Isle
And let the waves surround me
Let that salt bite heal my wounds
So let the ripples take me as long
As I can see the Emerald Isle
Cause I already spent it
Don't tell me where I'm supposed to go
Cause this is where I'm supposed to be
And I know life ain't no movie
But this ain't a dream
So damn it I ain't going nowhere
So let the ripples take me
As long as I can see the Emerald Isle
And let the waves surround me
Let that salt bite heal my wounds
And I danced with a herring choker's daughter
At sunset on the beach
And I played my guitar
And I cried out
From the top of the highest hilltop
Where the wind never stops
So don't offer me my youth back
Cause I already spent it
Don't tell me where I'm supposed to go
Cause this is where I'm supposed to be
And I know life ain't no movie
But this ain't a dream
So damn it I ain't going nowhere
So don't tell me where it all went wrong
Just take me back to the hills
And maybe stay a while with me
Bright red strawberries
And the crashing blue sea
And the blinding white sand
And the black of your hair as the rain fell down
So don't offer me my youth back
Cause I already spent it
Don't tell me where I'm supposed to go
Cause this is where I'm supposed to be
And I know life ain't no movie
But this ain't a dream
So damn it I ain't going nowhere
No I ain't going nowhere
(I ain't going nowhere)
Damn it I ain't going nowhere
No I ain't going nowhere
So let the ripples take me
As long as I can see the Emerald Isle
And let the waves surround me
Let that salt bite heal my wounds
So let the ripples take me as long
As I can see the Emerald Isle
