These Exiled Years Lyrics

Cover art for These Exiled Years lyrics by Flogging Molly

If you watched their documentary ("Whiskey on a Sunday"), Dave King, the lead singer/songwriter, talks about a period of time when he was essentially "exiled" (his words, not mine) in America. He didn't have a green card or anything, so he couldn't visit or go back home to Ireland, nor could he visit his mother for 8 years. When he finally could go back, his own mom didn't even recognize him.

Anyways this song is about his homesickness and lonliness while he was basically exiled here in America.
