Driven crazy trying to find an Irish hard rock song… HELP! Please?
It is not “I am shipping up to Boston”, “Johnny I never knew ya”, “Johnny jump up”, or “whiskey in a jar”… all I know is that it talks about meeting in a bar, starts out with more Irish acoustics, the lines I do remember could b wrong but are “oh ( insert name that sounds like Johnny) won’t ya go…” and after a heavy guitar strike “there is something wrong with anyone/ everyone who is not free/ like me”… I am going crazy here and am on the verge of angry tears… I feel like I imagined it but I have heard it three times on my local radio station that failed to mention the name of the artist or song three times 
That’s the Sad Ballad of Danny Boy by Floater.
“Oh, Danny, won’t you go home earlier tonight, your daughter doesn’t knwo you and you’re giving us a fright when you say… say something’s wrong with anyone who’s not like me”
*EDIT*
It’s the song that got me into Floater, I love them, they’re from Portland, Oregon.
