Dropkick Murphys

Dropkick Murphys are an American punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1996. The band was initially signed to independent punk record label Hellcat Records, releasing five albums for the label, and making a name for themselves locally through constant touring and yearly St. Patrick's Day week shows, held in and around Boston. The 2004 single "Tessie" became the band's first and one of their biggest charting singles to date. The band's final Hellcat release, 2005's The Warrior's Code, included "I'm Shipping Up to Boston", which was featured in the Academy Award-winning movie The Departed and went on to become one of the band's biggest singles, one of their best-known songs, and an anthem for Boston sports teams. more »

I been catchin' them freight trains
I been ridin' them railroads
I been sleepin' in a boxcar
Watchin', watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

I been walkin' them highways
I been hittin' them back roads
I been sleepin' in a haystack
Watchin', watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

I been shinglin' a rooftop
I been tendin' to a new crop
I been eatin' from a bean pod
I been workin' on a new road
I been workin' on the railroad
But I can't ride on neither
I'm watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

I been pickin' in a pea patch
I been workin' on a fruit ranch
I been livin' in a pasture
Watchin', watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

I been pickin' your lettuce
I been pickin' your maters
I been livin' on taters
Watchin', watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

I been shinglin' a rooftop
I been tendin' to a new crop
I been eatin' from a bean pod
I been workin' on a new road
I been workin' on the railroad
But I can't ride on neither
I'm watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

Freight train, railroad, boxcar
Highway, back door, haystack
Pea patch, fruit ranch, pasture
New road, railroad, my road
I'm catchin', ridin', sleepin', walkin'
Hittin', pickin', workin', livin'
I'm watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by
