Dropkick Murphys - Barroom Hero lyrics
[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!
He's been at it for years drinking balls and
Beer he's a hero to most he meets
But inside he cries black swollen eyes
This man he sheds no tears!
Now his wife and kids sing a different tune
As they worry about their daddy dying
But this arrogant fool breaks
Every rule it'll
Be nothing but pride that kills him
Could he listen no he won't that's all she
Wrote he'll be dead before
The daylight shines
But the thoughts and prayers of a million
Strong might keep this fool from dying
He's a legend in the bar with every
Scar fights a thousand bigger men
But now he fights and looses got
All the bruises will someone please
Step in?
Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart
He keeps climbing back in to the ring
In the low down circles where he holds his
Court this man he once was king
Though his clothes are soiled and black
He's a big, strong man with a childs mind
Don't you take his booze away!
He's been at it for years drinking balls and
Beer he's a hero to most he meets
But inside he cries black swollen eyes
This man he sheds no tears!
Now his wife and kids sing a different tune
As they worry about their daddy dying
But this arrogant fool breaks
Every rule it'll
Be nothing but pride that kills him
Could he listen no he won't that's all she
Wrote he'll be dead before
The daylight shines
But the thoughts and prayers of a million
Strong might keep this fool from dying
He's a legend in the bar with every
Scar fights a thousand bigger men
But now he fights and looses got
All the bruises will someone please
Step in?
Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart
He keeps climbing back in to the ring
In the low down circles where he holds his
Court this man he once was king
