Barroom Hero |
| Though his clothes are soiled and black |
| He’s a big strong man with a child’s mind |
| Don’t you take his booze away, hey |
| He’s been at it for years drinkin' balls and beers |
| 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 dyin' |
| 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 |
| 'Cause the thoughts and prayers of a million strong |
| Might keep this boy from dying |
| 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 million 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 |
| 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 million strong |
| Might keep this boy from dying |
| 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 million strong |
| Might keep this boy from dying |
| {This one goes out to the Boston punks and skins, varies from CD |
| This one goes out to everyone at six fifty six Adams street |
| How you doin'? |
| Fellas} |
| 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 |
| 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 million strong |
| Might keep this boy from dying |
| 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 million strong |
| Might keep this boy from dying |
