RESIDENT ALIEN
Brendan O'Loughlin 


Brendan O'Loughlin


Can't you listen to my tale while I drink this cup of ale
It won't be long before I'm leaving town
There's no want for my old trade my welcome I've outstayed
I'm heading for the good old U.S.A.


It's not too clear from hear what I'm most supposed to fear
It wont be easy that I know for sure
If it's all the same to you it's time I start anew
I'll do my best what else is there to do


There's highways and there's freeways
and there's overhead train way's
The stores are open seven days a week
To be employed is so hard unless you have a green card
The rules and regulations are laid down


It's was a long hard road sure I'm headed for the gold
silver treads that look like wedding bells
For the lady in my life has now become my wife
For all that said and done she's number one
