About

This song is very reminiscent of traditional Irish music as well as patriotic anthems. It talks of how the celebrity lifestyle forces the singer to move around so much and it hurts him to be away from home, but at least he can pretend to be back home by painting the town “Green” (representing Irela...

Paint the Town Green Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you're missing home
It’s been so long since you've been
And that life you had in Dublin
Now ain't nothin' but a dream
To be right there in that moment
You'd give anything to be
It's alright 'cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green
Your friends are on the phone now
It's so close to Paddy's Day
And it kills you not to be there
But life got in the way
If I have to break the bank
Spend every penny on your dreams
It's alright 'cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

[Chorus]
Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our home
If it's just you and me
It's alright 'cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green (The town green)

[Verse 2]
And we'll travel on the subway
Like it was the Luas line
Chase the Hudson to the Liffey
Where we kissed for the first time
Turn the city into Dublin
Yeah, wherever we may be
It's alright 'cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green

[Chorus]
Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our home
If it's just you and me
It's alright 'cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green (The town green)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our home
If it's just you and me
It's alright 'cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green (The town green)

[Outro]
(Hey, hoo) Yeah, paint the town green
Hey, hoo
(Hey, hoo) Paint the town green
Hey, hoo
Hey, hoo
Hey, hoo
Hey, hoo
Hey, hoo
