Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got your pride and your prose
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke
Just in case you need it
[Verse 2]
I know you got your pride and your prose
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke, just in case you need it, son
I heard it's been a ride, rougher than the last one
What'd you used to say? Oh, the harder they come
[Verse 3]
But he, he swears he's praying for a good time
And he, he said, he just doesn't miss her
And I have heard you never really lose it, do you?
Do you?
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
But there was something heavy holding you down
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
And now you haunt the heart of this town
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
[Verse 6]
And your tattooed knuckles, oh how they grind down
Try to be a man, tough just like your father
Try to settle down, more like c-calm down
Remember them songs and the reasons we were singing for
[Verse 7]
But he said he just doesn't miss her
And he, he says it's somewhere in his framework
And I have heard you never really lose it, do you?
Do you?
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
But there was something heavy holding you down
And there were reasons that were driving you crazy
Until you haunt the heart of this town
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
But there was something heavy holding you down
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
Until you haunt the heart of this town
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
[Verse 13]
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
