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 »

Wake and pray, work all day
Walk past the places I used to lay
Now I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
Some days are hard, some days are long
Some days I'm weak, some days I'm strong

I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way

But my hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out, I'm a survivor
I've chased these dreams down city streets
Dead-end roads that no one sees
And I'm proud to be a fighter

Don't shut me out, don't hold me down
I'm right here, I'll be around
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
Some days are slow, some days fly by
Some days I laugh, some days I cry

I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way

But my hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out, I'm a survivor
I've chased these dreams down city streets
Dead-end roads that no one sees
And I'm proud to be a fighter

When I look back and see your side
When I look hard into your eyes
When I take stock of what I've done
I think about how far I've come

And my hopes are so much higher
Don't count me out, I'm a survivor
And my hopes are so much higher
And I'm proud to be a fighter
