Текст песни Irish Goodbye - Jason Boland & The Stragglers

My welcome's been worn like a jacket that's torn
I believe I should be moving on
The right time is here and I'm in the clear
Though the party is still going strong

I hope they keep laughing, dancing, and clapping
To the same old overplayed song
Before the last toast I'll be good as a ghost
They can raise em up to someone who's gone

It's time for an Irish goodbye
The reason would sound like a lie
They don't want to hear it
Caught up in the spirit
I'll wave to a few on the fly
And leave with an Irish goodbye

I've been here before with one eye on the door
Cause I know how the story will end
The time that I'm biding with the joints that I'm lighting
Like an old flame that asks how you been
Before the tears start to falling
The drunk curtain calling a scene down to it's close
I'm dodging a bullet, the rip cord I'll pull it
Cause I'm high and I want to go home

So here comes an Irish goodbye
The reason would sound like a lie
They don't want to hear it
Caught up in the spirit
I'll wave to a few on the fly
And leave with an Irish goodbye

So here comes an Irish goodbye
The reasons would sound like a lie
There's no point in staying
I can't hear what they're saying
And no one will even ask why
I left with an Irish goodbye
