[Intro] [Verse 1] I came up the coast road with the salt still in my hair Bray Head at my shoulder and the whole thing standing there I never asked permission and I never asked for much I learned it from my father in a handshake and a touch [Pre-Chorus] And I don't need to shout it, I don't need it loud I just carry what I carry [Chorus] I'm Rathdown and proud, Rathdown and proud Cool as the breeze coming in off the sea Head up, hands out, nothing to prove Tiger, not a troll, and that's the truth in me Oh, that's the truth in me [Verse 2] There's men who wear it loud, boys, there's men who wear it thin There's men who mistake a temper for the mettle underneath the skin I'll stand behind my people and I'll stand there all night long Never had to be the biggest just to know that I belong [Pre-Chorus] And I don't need to prove it, I don't need a crowd I just carry what I carry [Chorus] I'm Rathdown and proud, Rathdown and proud Cool as the breeze coming in off the sea Head up, hands out, nothing to prove Tiger, not a troll, and that's the truth in me Oh, that's the truth in me [Middle Eight] Give me the weight, I'll take the weight Give me the door, I'll hold the door That's what a man is, that's what a man is for Yeah, that's what a man is for [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I'm Rathdown and proud, Rathdown and proud Cool as the breeze coming in off the sea Head up, hands out, nothing to prove Tiger, not a troll, and that's the truth in me [Outro] Rathdown and proud, Rathdown and proud Rathdown and proud, Rathdown and proud
