"Noble" lyrics - DROPKICK MURPHYS

DROPKICK MURPHYS
"Noble"
(Mike McColgan / Dropkick Murphys)

You grew up honest and straight
Always one of the guys
The laughs, the brews, good friends forever
"Drinking Camaraderie"
But then one night you were taken from us
Gone forever lost
Stolen away in an Ashmont Second
And I'll never forget the cost
Number one!

[Chorus:]
He was a kid from the neighborhood
Cut down in a brutal fight
On a cold and lonely Ashmont night

Coming up in a Turbulent Neighborhood
He always stood upright
When things would turn for the wrongful doing
Rob went to the right
But he was never given a chance
To traverse down life's path
Now with all these put into perspective
Noble this one's for you
Number one!

[Chorus 2x]

[Bridge:]
Never forget the great person you were
The pain and loss still burns
So much you had, but never realized
It never came your turn

[Chorus 3x]
