But the thoughts and prayers
(Hey hey hey)
Now he fights and loses, got all the bruises
Will someone please step in?
As they worry 'bout their daddy dyin'
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
[Incomprehensible]
'Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart
He's been at it for years drinkin' balls and beers
But the thoughts and prayers
Don't you take his booze away
Can he listen no he wont, that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
He keeps climbing back into the ring
This one still goes out to the Boston Punks and Skins
(Hey hey hey)
Will someone please step in?
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
(Hey hey hey)
In the low down circles where he holds his court
Can he listen no he wont, that's all she wrote
(Hey hey hey)
He's a legend in the bar with every scar
But the thoughts and prayers
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
Now his wife and kids sing a different tune
Can he listen no he wont, that's all she wrote
Can he listen no he wont, that's all she wrote
This man he sheds no tears
But the thoughts and prayers
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
Of a million strong might keep this fool from dying
A rowdy bunch indeed
Fights a thousand bigger men
Can he listen no he wont, that's all she wrote
(Hey hey hey)
He's a legend in the bar with every scar
(Hey)
This man he once was king
He keeps climbing back into the ring
In the low down circles where he holds his court
Of a million strong might keep this fool from dying
He's a big strong man with a child's mind
Fights a thousand bigger men
He's a hero to most he meets
This man he once was king
But the thoughts and prayers
Of a million strong might keep this fool from dying
Now he fights and loses, got all the bruises
It'll be nothin' but pride that kills him
'Cause this Irish fools got a great big heart
Of a million strong might keep this fool from dying
(Hey hey hey)
But inside he cries black swollen eyes
But this arrogant fool breaks every rule
