[Intro: Dustin]
Opels... caravans... tractors... rollerbladers... nuns?
And even exercise bikes
They all pass me by
[Verse 1: Dustin]
Been standing here for the last seven hours
In the snow and occasional showers
Coming back from a week in Tralee
Took a wrong turn at Clonakilty
(Ended up in Kinnegad but that's pretty sad
Especially when some tourist told me it had been bypassed)
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dustin]
There's a dream I have
Of being in my kitchen
Instead of stuck in Kinnegad
On the N6, hitchin'
And there's Escort now
That drives on by
So I stick out my thumb
And then I ask, "Why?"
[Chorus 1: Dustin]
I'm thumbin' home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Prayin' for a lift
I'm thumbin' home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Back out with the wrist
[Verse 2: Dustin]
Milk floats... Four Star Pizza
I guess I would've been blessed
If the Hi-Ace hadn't been repossessed
There's a change I could have been home
You know you never thumb on your own
(You have to make sure that ya have an adult with ya
To get you safely home to your seomra suite)
[Pre-Chorus 2: Dustin]
There's a hitcher now
Just up the way
And on its sign it spells
B-R-A-Y Bray
And there's a car now
And it is stoppin'
The battle of the hitchers
He's got it, I'm hoppin'!
[Chorus 2: Dustin]
I'm still thumbin' home now
It's been so long now
I would've even gone to Bray now
Just to get home
I'm soakin' wet now
I'm goin' to fret now
I need a bed now
Because I've lost me head now
(Oh, it's the Boyzone tour bus
Boys! Mikey! Keith! Shane! Ronan! Steve!
It's me, Dustin!
Wait!)
I'm thumbin' home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Prayin' for a lift
I'm thumbin' home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
I'd even take a lift in a Skoda
[Outro: Dustin]
Keith! Stall on!
Keith!
Keith!
Keith!
Keith!
