The Contender (Album Version) - Royal Crown Revue

Written by：M. Farren

The lights are spinning

I gotta get myself up off the floor

My head is ringing

Bet they think I can't take too much more

The crowd is howling

Like the ocean's pounding roar

My legs are going out

Someone up there don't like me

Now my right and my left will decide

'Cause they're done with this bum taking 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 staggering

Someone up there don't like me

Now my right and my left will decide

'Cause they're done with this bum taking dives

Now my eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears

But I see salvation tonight

In a left and a right

It's a one way ticket

Smart money's showing 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 coming back for more

Now my right and my left will decide

'Cause they're done with this bum taking dives

Now my eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears

But I see salvation tonight

Now my right and my left will decide

'Cause they're done with this bum taking dives

Now my eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears

But I see salvation tonight

In a left and a right
