Dropkick Murphys - Barroom Hero lyrics

Face down in the gutter won't admit defeat

though his clothes are soiled and black,

he's a big strong man with a childs mind,

Don't you take his booze away! (hey!)

He's been at it for years drinkin balls and beers

hes a hero to most he meets

but inside he cries black swollen eyes this man he sheds no tears

Now his wife & kids sing a different tune

as they worry about their daddy dyin

but this arrogant fool breaks every rule

it'll be nothing but pride that kills him

Chorus 2X

Could he listen no he won't

that's all she wrote

he'll be dead before the daylight shines

cause the thoughts and prayers of a millinon strong

might keep this boy from dying

He's a legend in the bar with every scar

fights a thousand bigger men,

now he fights and looses got all the bruises

will someone please step in?

This Irish fools got a great big heart

he keeps climbing back into the ring

In the low down circles where he holds his court

this man he once was king

Chorus2X

this one goes out to the boston punks and skins... varie from CD

This one goes out to everyone at six fifty six adams street...how you doin? fellas

Verse 2
