Prizefighter

Hope had filled the sky at nighttime

Diamond in the ring

Don't feed your mind

Maybe I had never pictured bad times

Brother in the drugstore falls behind

He's got knuckles that no longer fit my eyes

Knuckles that a prizefighter can't buy

I got the world, so I'll be fine

I got the sunshine to figure me out

I'm back to work, that's over

Now all I want is fun

Yeah, my work ain't hard

But it's got to be done

Tommy left for war with no goodbye

I never got a chance to ask him why

But since Tommy always was a tough guy

I know it's 'cause he thought I'd see him cry

He had knuckles that could make the devil shy

Knuckles of a prizefighter held high

I got the world, so I'll be fine

I got the sunshine to figure me out

I'm back to work, that's over

Now all I want is fun

Yeah, my work ain't hard

But it's got to be done

I got a war that I can't fight

I got the sunshine to figure me out

I'm back to work, that's over

Now all I want is fun

Yeah, my work ain't hard

But it's got to be done

I got the world, so I'll be fine

I got the sunshine to figure me out

I'm back to work, that's over

Now all I want is fun

Yeah, my work ain't hard

But it's got to be done
