Danny Boy To My Youngest Lad

You'll create your wealth on your own terms As you take off for Peru You swear that's an easier way to learn I guess if anyone knows, it's you You keep me in awe of your anarchy And your non-conformist ways You say ya gotta get out for your sanity You'll be showin' us all up some day 'Cause ya can't be schooled with a text book Nah, ya gotta be out in the crowd Livin' it, smokin' it, drinkin' it in And I'm sure you're gonna make it somehow I got every faith in ya, Danny You don't have to go prove it to me I'll get off your back - to make room for your pack 'Cause there's a whole lotta world to see Hittin' the road with "Hippie” Gonna hitchhike, no need for a car And you'll scrounge your meals And make some fast cash By singin' and playin' guitar I wish you the best in your travels You can't wait to set off on your own But if everything starts to unravel You'll always have a place in my home
