Dropkick Murphys - End Of The Night lyrics

rate me

The amber, the fire is starting to fade, but it’s now that I’m at my best

Give the angel of my shoulder a bright for the night

Cause the devil ain’t getting no rest

I’ve got thousands of stories, you’ve heard them before,

Yet I tell them again and again

Come on put up a stool now and buy me a drink

And please think of me as a friend

We live for the weekend, each city’s the same

There’s a bar on the corner where they don’t know your name

There’s plenty of drinks, they’ve been saving your chair

It’s our second home, we ain’t going nowhere

[Chorus] x 3

It’s the end, end of the night,

But we ain’t going home

This life it ain’t easy, still we manage to win

There’s times you get knocked down, yeah we land with our chin

We are generous guys with our hearts on our sleeves

Misunderstood, through the boss disagrees

We can’t catch a break, wrote the book on bad luck

We hold down the job even though it all sucks

[Chorus] x 3

It’s the end, end of the night,

But we ain’t going home

The bartender’s spoken and he’s made it clear

If you ain’t going home, then you ain’t staying here

You can’t shut us off and you won’t turn us down

There’s plenty of jugs so be grateful to have us around

[Chorus] x 3

It’s the end, end of the night,

But we ain’t going home

Well you’ve been beaten me black and you’ve beaten me blue

The scars are well worn on my face

Iv’e packed up the bags and I’ve soaked off in shame

For one last walk at these streets

[Chorus] x 3

It’s the end, end of the night,

But we ain’t going home.
