i was a sailor first, i sailed the sea
then i got a job, in a factory
played butlin's camp with my friend rory
it was good for him, it was great for me
livepool i left you, said 'goodbye' to madryn street
i always followed my heart, and i never missed a beat
destiny was calling, i just couldn't stick around
liverpool i left you, but i never let you down
went to hamburg, the red lights were on
with george & paul, and my friend john
we rocked all night, we all looked tough
we didn't have much, but we had enough
livepool i left you, said 'goodbye' to madryn street
i always followed my heart, and i never missed a beat
destiny was calling, i just couldn't stick around
liverpool i left you, but i never let you down
in the u.s.a. when we played shea
we were number one, and it was fun
when i look back, it sure was cool
for those four boys from liverpool
livepool i left you, said 'goodbye' to admiral grove
i always followed my heart, so i took it on the road
destiny was calling, i just couldn't stick around
liverpool i left you, but i never let you down
