Lyrics

Howard, the strangest things have happened lately
When I take a good swing at all my dreams
They pivot and slip
I drop my fists and they're back laughing, Howard
My intention's become not to lose what I've won
Ambition has given way to desperation and I
Lost the fight from my eyes
Boxing's been good to me, Howard
Now, I'm told, you're growing old
The whole time we knew
A couple of years I'd be through
Has boxing been good to you?
Howard, now, I confess I'm scared and lonely and tired
They seem to think I'm made of clay
Another day, I'm not cut out for this
I just know what to say, I say
Boxing's been good to me, Howard
Now, I'm told, you're growing old
The whole time ya knew
A couple of years I'd be through
Has boxing been good to you?
Well, sometimes I punch myself hard as I can
Yelling, "Nobody cares"
Hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am
Boxing's been good to me, Howard
Now, I'm told, you're growing old
The whole time ya knew
A couple of years, I'd be through
Has boxing been good?
Has boxing been good?
Has boxing been good?
