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 »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I've seen street corner preachers spending discharge pay
Between periods of getting stiff 
And happy tipplers singing songs of discontentment
With each and every passing sip 
From the bookmaker's clerk on the rowdy racing circuit
Known as Tom Sharkey's brawling bar to the tenders 
At the pubs and illegal sporting clubs
In this town I call my home

You see, I come from a family who more 
Or less traditionally sends its boys off to serve uncle Sam
"Obey your orders and protect your country" 
Said this father to his disheartened son
I've traveled over seas, seen forks in the road 
From Raven to the pubs near Cunard Pier
But the things weren't the same, 
As the place where I became,
A man in this town I call my home.
