Lyrics Hang Up My Gloves - Merle Haggard

Hang Up My Gloves

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And walk right out door
I’m gonna find me a brand new baby
Who don’t wanna fight no more
You won the winning round when you brought me down
In front of everybody I knew
I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And let 'em give the round to you
Well our love’s a fighting arena
And our friends have a ring side view
Well the Friday night fight
Can’t hold a light to the way I have to fight for you
Well I fought my best to win your love
I threw every punch I knew
So I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And let 'em give the round to you
I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And walk right out door
I’m gonna find me a brand new baby
Who don’t wanna fight no more
You won the winning round when you brought me down
In front of everybody I knew
I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And let 'em give the round to you
Well it’s a life long fight both day and night
Just keeping you around the house
But now I understand you got a corner man
Now I’m a gonna put you out
Well I hung on the rope till I give up hope
Cause you just can’t be true
I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And let 'em give the round to you
I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And walk right out door
I’m gonna find me a brand new baby
Who don’t wanna fight no more
You won the winning round when you brought me down
In front of everybody I knew
I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And let 'em give the round to you
I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel
And let 'em give the round to you
