Barroom Heroes
guitar chords 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 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
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
