Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I woke up in the morning I wasn't feeling well
I spent all my money, so last night must have been hell
There was babe lyin' beside me that I'd never seen before
I gave her a kiss goodbye and ran out the backdoor
[Verse 2]
As I left the house with mystery, I didn't know where I was
I still had ten keys so I phoned up my cuz
I said, hey, cousin Finny, can you come and pick me up?
I just come back from battle with the ol' Irish sup
[Verse 3]
I am the local hero with the lads in the pub
I am the whiskey king and I'll never give it up
I don't recall a thing, but I went all the way
Was a drunken night in Dublin, ended up in Galway Bay
[Verse 4]
When Finny picked me up, I was face down on the ground
It took him three hours to get in from Dublin town
I didn't realize I was a little out of the way
The place he picked me up was back in Galway Bay
[Verse 5]
I am the local hero with the lads in the pub
I am the whiskey king and I'll never give it up
I don't recall a thing, but I went all the way
Was a drunken night in Dublin, ended up in Galway Bay
[Verse 6]
Yeah
[Verse 7]
So if you wake one morning and you don't know where you are
You know it had to be the ol' whiskey in the jar
Ireland's not a big wasteland, I don't know if you've been
The whiskey take you places that you have never seen
[Verse 8]
I am the local hero with the lads in the pub
I am the whiskey king and I'll never give it up
I don't recall a thing, but I went all the way
A drunken night in Dublin ended up in Galway Bay
A drunken night in Dublin ended up in Galway Bay
A drunken night in Dublin ended up in Galway Bay
