So Raise Up Your Tankards

I walked through the swamps and I crawled through the dust
My dagger is sharp but my armor is rust
I outran the guards and I slept in the rain
I traded my comfort for glory and pain

The dungeon was dark and the dragon was loud
But look at me now, standing distinct and proud
I spent all my gold on a warm place to stay
To drink to the demons we slaughtered today

So raise up your tankards and slam down your heel
We live by our wits and we live by our steel
I don't need a castle, I don't need a suit
Just give me more ale for the hole in my boot

Hey, the road goes on forever
Hey, we brave the stormy weather
Just give me more ale for the hole in my boot

See this crack in the leather? That's from kicking a door
See this mud on the heel? That's from a goblin war
I've walked distant miles while the nobles just ride
I've got nothing to lose and I've got nothing to hide

They say I'm a scoundrel, a thief in the night
But I'm the one laughing in the fireplace light
My feet may be sore and my soles may be worn
But a legend is written, a legend is born

So raise up your tankards and slam down your heel
We live by our wits and we live by our steel
I don't need a castle, I don't need a suit
Just give me more ale for the hole in my boot

Hey, the road goes on forever
Hey, we brave the stormy weather
Just give me more ale for the hole in my boot

One coin for the innkeeper, two for the bed
Three for the bounty that hangs on my head
My toes taste the breeze and the floor feels so cold
But stories are better than mountains of gold, yeah

So throw up your legs on the old wooden pine
Tonight we are kings, tonight we are fine
Tomorrow brings danger, tomorrow brings dread
But tonight we are drunk and definitely not dead

So raise up your tankards and slam down your heel
We live by our wits and we live by our steel
I don't need a castle, I don't need a suit
Just give me more ale for the hole in my boot

Hey, the road goes on forever
Hey, we brave the stormy weather
Just give me more ale for the hole in my boot

Yeah, the road is long
And the ale is good
Hey barkeep, I think I need a cobbler, or another round
