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 drinking b____ 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 and kids sing a different tune
as they worry about their daddy dying,
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,
But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
might keep this fool from dying.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
