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
