Friendship - The Moorings

This story started off on a glorious day of fall

When me and the lads got ready and set out to roam

On this journey of a lifetime where none of us did know

How far away our travels would take us from our home

Wandering from town to town with all our gear

We bring the sound of Irish folk around all ears

This doesn’t pay the bills but man’s gotta eat

So alcohol provides until better days can feed

CH: Drinking pints of beer, Paddy brings me down

Having strong Whiskey, Seamus hit the ground

Palinka’s a shocker, drunk is all we are

The party’s going well, every night we close the bar

Sitting on the grubby pavement right after the show

Hanging out outside as the cold wind blows

Rain’s pouring down on you as you try to get some sleep

God bless the helping hand holding out a beer

Life is always dealing us a pretty tough deck

But no matter the price to pay and the pain in the neck

There is nothing to change no matter the frustration

So Bottom’s up it is until we knock out sensation

CH

So yes we are just a bunch of drunks!!!

So what!!!

But no we’re no scum on the run!!!

Fuck that!!!

We do miss our dear moms and could use a good shower

But friendship and booze are way so fucking better

CH

Finally to bring an ending to the story

The drinks and laughs we shared are great memories

And so we raise a glass to all the folks gathering around

It’s good to know there’s someone out there you can count on
