The Contender |
| The lights are spinnin' |
| I gotta get myself up off the floor |
| My head is ringin' |
| Bet they think I can’t take too much more |
| The crowd is howlin' |
| Like the ocean’s pounding roar |
| My legs are goin' out |
| Someone up there don’t like me |
| Now my right and my left will decide |
| 'Cause they’re done with this bum takin' dives |
| Now my eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears |
| But I see salvation tonight |
| In a left and a right |
| Called me a kid, champ or lefty |
| A bowery kid to the core |
| Fast cars and hipster movie stars |
| I ain’t got none of that anymore |
| Now I’m down in the seventh |
| In the eighth my ribs are sore |
| In the ninth I’m staggerin' |
| Someone up there don’t like me |
| It’s a one-way ticket |
| Smart money’s showin' me the door |
| Backed on the ropes now |
| Someone up there don’t like me anymore |
| When the crowd goes silent |
| One thing that I know for sure |
| Knock me down one time |
| I’ll be comin' back for more |
