Closin' time and I have
Overstayed my welcome
One more drink and
I'll be on the road again
I ride all night before I
Have to face the morning
And I'll be far away by then

I always end up at the
Wrong side of the city
I always stay somewhere
I should've never gone
It's a hard life and
It sure as hell ain't pretty
But it's the only life I've known

I'll be watching over you tonight
I'll be watching and
I'm sure to make it alright
I'll be watching over you tonight
With those green hills on my mind

All those roads somehow
Seem to last a lifetime
All those faces that
I never will forget
I live through lonely nights
I live through all the good times
Now it's too late for regrets

I'll be watching over you tonight
I'll be watching and
I'm sure to make it alright
I'll be watching over you tonight
With those green hills on my mind

It's been a long time since
I saw those shores I came from
It's been a long time and
It isn't over yet
Without a home I need
A shoulder I can lean on
And you're the closest I will get

I'll be watching over you tonight
I'll be watching and
I'm sure to make it alright
I'll be watching over you tonight
With those green hills on my mind
