Bar Room Hero
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 drinkin balls and beers
hes 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
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!
