Small Town Boys - Pub Crawl

[Intro – fiddle + tin whistle, bodhrán building] [Shouted Male – loose, lively] Alright, one more round—sing it loud! [Verse 1 – fast Celtic punk groove] I miss the nights we lost control Laughing loud with nowhere to go Chasing dreams we couldn’t see Swore who we’d always be We tried our best to stand out proud But never really left this town Still we swore we’d find a way We’d make it out someday [Pre-Chorus – lift with instruments] No sleep, no plans, just us Running wild, raising dust Nothing ever held us down We owned every street in town [Chorus – BIG pub chant, call & response] We were small town boys (HEY!) Making too much noise (HEY!) Running through the night Like we had a choice We were reckless, young (HEY!) Singing at the top of our lungs (HEY!) Through it all, we stayed Like we said we would Small town boys! Raise your glass and sing! Small town boys! Hear the whole room ring! [Instrumental Break – fiddle lead, accordion bounce] [Verse 2 – rowdy, driving] We got in trouble more than twice But always made it out alright Fights would fade, we’d laugh it off Never knew when to stop Every promise that we made Tested in a thousand ways But through the chaos and the noise We were more than just boys [Pre-Chorus – bigger build] Late nights, no end in sight Talking ‘bout a bigger life Didn’t know what we would be But we had everything [Chorus – louder, gang vocals] We were small town boys (HEY!) Making too much noise (HEY!) Running through the night Like we had a choice We were reckless, young (HEY!) Singing at the top of our lungs (HEY!) Through it all, we stayed Like we said we would Small town boys! Raise your glass and sing! Small town boys! Hear the whole room ring! [Bridge – half-time, emotional → build] Now those nights feel miles away Different roads but we’re still the same I left first, didn’t get to choose Life just pulled me far from you You stayed longer, then you moved on too Chasing something we all swore we’d do No matter where the hell we go That town’s still in our bones [Build – drums + whistles rising] [Final Chorus – FULL PUB CHAOS] We were small town boys (HEY!) Making too much noise (HEY!) Running through the night Like we had a choice We were reckless, young (HEY!) Singing at the top of our lungs (HEY!) Through it all, we stayed Like we said we would Small town boys! Across the miles we roam! Small town boys! Still call that place our home! [Outro – fading instruments, group vibe] [Group vocals, laughing, clinking glasses] Yeah… small town boys 🍻
