The Best Years of My Life - Horslips

Oh the roads I’ve put behind me

Ever rising like the dawn

The loves I’ve put behind me

I never trusted blindly

And the low roads that I’ve taken

Every bone was achin'

And the pleasure all was gone

The best years of my life were spent

In Barrowlands and Borderlands

The best years of my life were spent in Galway

And the friends I’ve had around me

Said I’d make it through

Took me how they found me

When the whiskey nearly drowned me

And the ones who came to cheer me

Why they hardly knew

I’d play for those who’d hear me

I’d like to play for you
