Face down in the gutter, <br />won't admit defeat though his clothes are soiled and black, <br />he's a big strong man with a child's mind, <br />don't you take his booze away... (hey!) <br /><br />He's been at it for years drinkin balls and beers, <br />he's a hero to most he meets (hey hey hey!) <br />but inside he cries black swolen eyes, <br />this man he sheds no tears. <br />Now his wife and kids sing a different tune <br />as they worry bout their daddy dyin (hey hey hey!) <br />but this arrogant fool breaks every rule <br />it'll be nothin but pride that kills him <br /><br />[chorus] <br />Can he listen no he wont, <br />that's all she wrote, <br />he'll be dead before the daylight shines, <br />but the thoughts and prayers <br />of a million strong might keep this fool from dying. (x2) <br />[chorus] <br /><br />He's a legend in the bar with every scar, <br />fights a thousand bigger men (hey hey hey) <br />now he fights and loses <br />got all the bruises <br />will someone please step in? <br />Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart, <br />he keeps climbing back into the ring (hey hey hey), <br />in the low down circles where he holds his court, <br />this man he once was king... <br /><br />[chorus] <br /><br />This one still goes out to the Boston Punks and Skins, <br />a rowdy bunch indeed... <br />varies from CDs <br /><br />He's a legend in the bar with every scar, <br />fights a thousand bigger men (hey hey hey) <br />now he fights and loses <br />got all the bruises <br />will someone please step in? <br />Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart, <br />he keeps climbing back into the ring (hey hey hey), <br />in the low down circles where he holds his court, <br />this man he once was king... <br /><br />[chorus]
