The Champ

Another knock down, drag out war of attrition
A feigned retreat in Parthian style
Full gallop sittin' tall in the saddle
Well, look back and let the arrows fly
Another hunter has become the hunted
In the blink of an eye
For every hard won battle, baby
There’s a losing side
I’ll give it to you, you’re the champ tonight
High noon and we’re standin' on Main Street
All or nothin', and there’s no backing out
No second thoughts about a reputation
Just clear leather and the hammer comes down
Living always and always dyin'
If only on the inside
For every hard won battle, baby
There’s a losing side
It doesn’t matter, you’re the champ tonight
Now you’re back on the ropes with an uppercut comin'
Another haymaker, and we’ll call it a night
But you’re wearin' me out, and I’m lettin' my guard down
A rope-a-dope surprise, surprise
And now the crowd’s gonna get what they paid for
Nobody’s takin' a dive
For every hard won battle, baby
There’s a losing side
I’ll hand it to you, you’re the champ tonight
You’re the champ tonight
You’re the champ tonight
