ERIN GO HOME

GONNA DRINK ‘TIL I FORGET YOU, ‘TIL ABSENCE FROM YOU HURTS,
I’LL FROLICK HERE WITHOUT YOU WITH THE FLIES, THE DRUNKS, AND FLIRTS
AND WHEN THE DRINK IS LONELY, AND I’VE NOWHERE LEFT TO ROAM
AND THE TENDER OF THE PUB BELTS OUT, “ERIN GO HOME!”

WELL YOU SCREAM OUT MY NAME
AND I’M THE MOTH TO YOUR FLAME
ROBBED OF FANCYFUL FLIGHTS TO THE BAR
AND AFTER CLIPPING THESE WINGS,
I ONLY YELL WHEN I SING,
AND THE SONG SOUNDS MORE LIKE A SCAR

WELL DO PARDON ME
BUT YOU’RE A SHIT TRAGEDY,
AND YOUR WINGS HAD BURNED OUT LONG BEFORE NOW,
IT WAS I WHO SANG THE SONGS,
AND ME, WHO KEPT YOU STRONG,
SO TONIGHT THIS GIRL IS PAINTING THE TOWN

WELL I’M CALLING UP THE BOYS,
AND I’M DRINKING WITH THE GIRLS
FIND A CLEAN SHIRT AND A BOTTLE,
A SHORT SKIRT AND MY PEARLS
TONIGHT I SING WITHOUT YOU,
TONIGHT I SING WITH FRIENDS,
UNTIL THE EVENING’S FINISHED,
UNTIL THE BITTER END…

GONNA DRINK ‘TIL I FORGET YOU, ‘TIL ABSENCE FROM YOU HURTS,
I’LL FROLICK HERE WITHOUT YOU WITH THE FLIES, THE DRUNKS, AND FLIRTS
AND WHEN THE DRINK IS LONELY, AND I’VE NOWHERE LEFT TO GO,
AND THE TENDER OF THE PUB BELTS OUT, “ERIN GO HOME!”

WELL ERIN GO HOME, LEAVE THIS POOR BOY ALONE,
YOU’RE THREE SHEETS TO FLOATING AWAY,
OR IF YOU BOTH PREFER, THERE’S THE DOOR BEHIND YOU SIR,
SOMEONE LEAVE, CAUSE BOTH OF YOU CAN’T STAY


WELL I’M WAITING FOR MY BOY,
AND I’M CALLING ON YOU GIRL
FIND A CLEAN SHIRT AND A BOTTLE,
A BLACK DRESS FOR THOSE PEARLS
TONIGHT WE’LL DANCE TOGETHER,
TONIGHT WE’LL TALK LIKE FRIENDS,
UNTIL FOREVER’S FINISHED,
UNTIL THE BITTER END…

SO WE DRINK ‘TIL WE REMEMBER, THAT ABSENCE FROM YOU HURTS,
THAT THIS HEART WAS NEVER FILLED AMONGST THE FLIES, THE DRUNKS, AND FLIRTS
SO WHEN THIS CUP IS EMPTY, I’VE GOT SOMEWHERE TO GO,
GONNA SETTLE UP THIS TAB, THEN ERIN’S GOING HOME!
