Verse 1 Near forty years, side by side, Through whiskey nights and morning light. We’ve bled, we’ve bet, we’ve lost, we’ve won, Chased the moon till the rising sun. Burned our cash and burned our pride, Hit the mark — then missed it wide. When one went down in the pouring rain, The rest stood up and drank his pain. Pre-Chorus (Call & Response) When I shout “Stand!” — you shout “Tall!” Stand tall! When I shout “One!” — you shout “All!” One for all! Chorus (Big Irish Pub Shout) Raise ’em high and sing it strong, This is where we all belong! We are wild and we are free, Friends forever — One, two, three! No retreat and no rewind, Leave the past a mile behind. For the love and for the fight, Forever young on a Friday night! Verse 2 Girls rolled in like summer wind, Gone by dawn with a crooked grin. Hangovers stacked like stories told, Half of ’em lies — the rest pure gold. Always late and rarely clean, Kings of chaos, loud and mean. But when it mattered, black and white, We locked our arms and held the line. Pre-Chorus (Call & Response) When I shout “Stand!” — you shout “Tall!” Stand tall! When I shout “One!” — you shout “All!” One for all! Chorus (Louder) Raise ’em high and sing it strong, This is where we all belong! We are wild and we are free, Friends forever — One, two, three! No retreat and no rewind, Leave the past a mile behind. For the love and for the fight, Forever young on a Friday night! Verse 3 When the noise fades soft and low, And the fire burns in a steady glow, It’s friends and blood that still remain, Through every loss and every gain. Full throttle hearts, a scar or two, But never ones who bid adieu. As long as there’s a song and beer, You’ll find us standing all right here. Final Chorus (Double Time / Clapping) Raise ’em high and sing it strong! This is where we all belong! We are wild and we are free! Friends forever — One, two, three! No retreat and no rewind! Leave the past a mile behind! Side by side until we fall — One for one and one for all!
