Barroom Hero

Music: Barton, Lyrics: Casey

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 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 2X

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 millinon strong might keep this boy from dying

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 in to the ring In the low down circles where he holds his court this man he once was kind

Chorus2X

Verse 2

Chorus 2X

Fightstarter Karaoke

Music: Barton, Lyrics: Casey, McColgan

Riot tonight everybody let’s go gonna start a fight but with who I don’t know (2x)

chorus: Doesn’t take a big man to knock somebody down just a little courage to lift him off the ground

This world is not what it seems these beer balls are ruining my dreams.

Riot tonight everybody lets go gonna start a fight but with who I don’t konw (2x)

chours:

Stabbed in the back one too many times to count, master of the sucker punch, burned his bridges from the past. Beaten and attacked, but no one seems to give a shit, cause he had it coming you made your bed now sleep in it!

This world is not what it seems these beer balls are ruining my dreams
