Boxer

Got your pride and your prose

Tucked just like a Tommy gun

Somewhere in the smoke

Just in case you need it

I know you got your pride and your prose

Tucked just like a Tommy gun

Somewhere in the smoke

Just in case you needed

Some of her to spin around

Rougher than the last one

Oh, what'd you used to say

The harder they come

But he just swears he's praying for a good time

He, he said he just doesn't miss her

And I have heard you never really lose it

Do you, do you

He took it all gracefully on the chin

Knowing that the beatings had to someday end

He found the bandages inside the pen

And the stitches on the radio

There was something, baby, holding you down

And there were whispers that were driving you crazy

And now you hunt the heart of this town

Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

And you tied two knuckles up

How they grind down

Tried to be a man

Tough just like your father

Try to settle down

Boy, I could calm down

Remember them songs

And the reasons we were singing

But he said he just doesn't miss her

He, he said it's somewhere in his framework

And I have heard you never really lose it

Do you, do you

He took it all gracefully on the chin

Knowing that the beatings had to someday end

He found the bandages inside the pen

And the stitches on the radio

There was something, baby, holding you down

And there were reasons that were driving you crazy

Until you hunt the heart of this town

Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

And you can wait all night long

Until it all goes wrong

And you waste away your soul

And you can wait, wait, wait, wait

You took it all gracefully on the chin

Knowing that the beatings had to someday end

You found the bandages inside the pen

And the stitches on the radio

There was something, baby, holding you down

And there were whispers that were driving you crazy

Until you hunt the heart of this town

Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
