Caps and Bottles - Dropkick Murphys

When I was thirteen, I bought a scally cap

Looked up to the older guys who drank at the rat

Couldn’t wait to grow up and drink with the crew

Put my name on the map and have a social few

Wooh oh ohh

I recall when I was small I thought I’d be legend soon

But that was then and this is now a harder road cannot be found

Don’t get me wrong, good times were had

Sometimes the fun outweighed the bad

But all in all, now said and done I can recall more bad than fun

It’s killing me

The answer’s here, it’s plain to see

It’s taken me

I’m half the man I thought I’d be

It’s killing me

It’s taken years but now I see

I’m not the man I thought I’d be

I’d fight them all, big or small

Angel dust and Bud tall

Collars up and fists the same

Protect your friends and family name

Had my lumps, received a few but not near what I deserved

Some say this life’s my punishment

Some say this life’s my just deserves
