the boxer - nancy wilson (heart) lyrics
i am just a poor boy, though my story’s seldom told
i have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
all lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
and disregards the rest, hmm
and disregards the rest
when i left my home and my family, i was no more than a boy
in the company of strangers
in the quiet of the railway station, runnin’ scared
laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
where the ragged people go
looking for the places only thеy would know
lie la lie, lie la liе la lie la lie
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
asking only workman’s wages, i come lookin’ for a job
but i get no offers
just a come*on from the wh0res on 7th avenue
i do declare, there were times when i was so lonesome
i took some comfort there, la*la*la*la la*la*la
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
and i’m laying out my winter clothes and wishing i was gone
goin’ home
where the new york city winters aren’t bleedin’ me
leadin’ me
goin’ home
in the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
and he carries the reminders
of every glove that laid him down or cut him
’til he cried out in his anger and his shame
“i am leaving, i am leaving”, but the fighter still remains
the fighter still remains
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
