Lyrics

Verse 1 Look at ya kid, Your growing up quick and I can’t seem to tell you to slow But there’ll soon come a day and it scares me to death When you tell me you’re ready to go You’re as quick as a whip with your hands on your hips Only eyes that could rival your mums And so proudly I’ll watch You make the world better off So my prayer is wherever you go Chorus 1 May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind blow where you lead May the sun shine on your face while the rain falls on your fields May the world lie down before you, may you be all you can be But may all those roads you roam wind home to me Verse 2 And I’ll be at your games 'cause my folks did the same And I’ll pour your first glass of Bordeaux Watch me ruin your palate for anything else So in your youth you can’t afford to get drunk And oh, there’s lips to be kissed and there’s ones to missed And you won’t keep my 2 cents for long So you’ll make your mistakes like your ma an da did Until one day you stumble on love Chorus 2 May the Lord be kind and keep you, may the devil fear your reach May your pockets fill with gold and yet your heart be void of greed May the darkness bow before you, may you find the light you seek May all those roads you roam wind home to me Verse 3 Listen up kid , I love you to bits and I wish life would learn to be slow But there’ll soon come a day and God, I hope I’m well aged When I tell you it’s my turn to go And death’s cruel I’ll admit but mourn for me quick And look after those kids of your own And just make different mistakes than your ma and da made And make our ceiling look like your floor Chorus 3 So may the road rise up to meet you, may your laughter fill the streets May your children be as kind to you as you have been to me When your life’s been lived for all it’s worth and your grandkids let you leave May all those roads you roam wind home to me Oh may all those roads you roam wind home to me...
