When homesickness hits harder than a pint of stout, The Script's tune swoops in with a remedy that’s all about splashing your current locale with a bit of Irish charm. "Paint the Town Green" is essentially a musical passport, transforming any cityscape into Dublin faster than you can say "Paddy's Day." It’s an anthem for the expatriates and the wanderers, those who carry their homeland in their hearts and occasionally on their playlists. Whether it’s turning the Hudson River into the Liffey or a subway ride into a trip on the Luas, this song is an invitation to make wherever you are feel like where you’re from. So grab your metaphorical green paint and let's give this town an Irish makeover!
Paint the Town Green
Lyrics
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
(Hey) I know you're missing home
It's been so long since you've been
And that life you had in Dublin
Now ain't nothing but a dream
To be right there in the moment
You'd give anything to be
It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green
Your friends are on the phone there
It's so close to Paddy's Day
And it kills you not to be there
But life got in the way
If I have to break the bank
Spend every penny on your dreams
It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green
Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our own
If it's just you and me
It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green (Hoo)
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
(Hey) And we travel on the subway
Like it was the Luas line
Chase the Hudson to the Liffey
Where we kissed for the first time
Turn the city into Dublin
Yeah, wherever we may be
It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green
Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our own
If it's just you and me,
It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green (Hoo)
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
Hey ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Hey ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Just like home
Let's color the streets like our own
Let's make this place feel like our own
If it's just you and me,
It's alright
'Cause tonight
We're gonna paint the town green (Hoo)
(Hey hoo) Paint the town green
Hey hoo
(Hey hoo) Paint the town green
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
Hey hoo
