Longshot Lyrics by James Mullally

Longshot - EP

2018

[Verse 1]
He crossed the border when he was young
If I was right he was 14
He worked did anything to get paid
He met my granny at 18

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well I know that there's
Some things you've seen
You had my mum
Then she had three
When you look down line well you did it all for me

[Chorus 1]
It was a longshot
You came across the water
I'm not familiar with Longford
If it's like home to me
Well you grow up you know it's time to leave
And I'll try give it everything I've got
I don't mind falling for the things I love
Maybe it's hard for you to see
The longshot's made for me

[Verse 2]
You start a new life when you hit the road
Say "bye" to your friends
And it's lonely on your own
But I want my kids to know

[Pre-Chorus 2]
That daddy was proud
He didn't allow anybody to say "no"
Kept his feet on the ground
They met in the south
And he made that girl his home

[Chorus 2]
She was a longshot
He came across the water
He's not been anywhere but Florida
They know it's meant to be
Cause wherever they go they always find a 17
Time takes a little bit of trust but
I don't mind falling for the things I love
Maybe it's hard for you to see
The longshot's made for me
