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 wanna come home to a dog that wags his tail
I wanna come home to a ship that doesn't sail
I wanna come home and I wanna go to work
I wanna come home and be just another jerk

I wanna be there for the start of every season
Head back to Fenway, yeah, it seems like a good reason
To go home to friends and family, the best thing I ever did
I may be far away, but I'm still a hometown kid

So take me back to where I'm from
Where I'm hated, where I'm loved
Where they welcome me and raised me
To be the man that I've become
Each time I go away
I wish to God that I could stay
Here with you all every day
Now let that broken record play

I wanna be back where people tell it like it is
Everyone remembers, but nobody forgives
I wanna be home by the ocean so I can smell the sea
I wanna be around a bunch of salty knuckleheads like you and me

So take me back to where I'm from
Where I'm hated, where I'm loved
Where they welcome me and raised me
To be the man that I've become
Each time I go away
I wish to God that I could stay
Here with you all every day
Now let that broken record play

Whoa
Whoa

Going home to friends and family
The best thing I ever did
I may be far away
But I'm still a Boston kid

So take me back to where I'm from
Where I'm hated, where I'm loved
Where they welcome me and raised me
To be the man that I've become
Each time I go away
I wish to God that I could stay
Here with you all every day
Now let that broken record play

Each time I go away
I wish to God that I could stay
Here with you all every day
Now let that broken record play
