Lyrics
Good luck to the boys
With rainbows to chase
In my time I’ve chased a few
Good luck to the runners
May they all win the race
But home is the place with you
Goodbye to the girls
I’ll never embrace
The dreams that won’t pursue
But here’s to the dreamers
Who can keep up the pace
I give them my space
I’m through and
Home is the place with you
