Barroom Hero Lyrics

Tabber: clark@theoddmenout.com
Intro:
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!
Verse 1:
He's been at it for years drinkin' 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 & 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:
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
Verse 2:
He's a legend in the bar with every scar
Fights a thousand bigger men,
But now he fights and loses got all the bruises
Will someone please step in?
Cause 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
Bridge: x4
This one goes out to the Boston Punks...
