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 child's 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 and 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 fool's 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
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
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
