Great White Hope |
| When I ws a young man, I had to kick and scratch and claw |
| Now it’s like top gun in the Old West, everybody wants me to draw |
| If I had known it would be likethis I might have given it a second thought |
| But if someone had told me to give it up, it’s a line that I wouldn’t have |
| bought |
| Look at me |
| I’m the great white hope |
| Can’t you see |
| I’m up against the ropes |
| Don’t you know |
| It’s so hard to cope |
| When you feel |
| Like the great white hope |
| Now you’ve paid your money you’re sitting in your ringside seat |
| And I know that some of you out there, might wanna see the champ get beat |
| If I had known it would be like this I might have given it a second |
| thought |
| But real life sure isn’t like school, there’s some lessons that just |
| can’t be taught |
