Boxing

Howard, the strangest thing
Has happened lately
When I take a good swing
And all my dreams
They pivot and slip
I drop my fists and theyre back
Laughing Howard
My intentions become not to lose what Ive won
Ambition has given way to desperation and I
Lost the fight from my eyes
Boxings been good to me, Howard
Now Im told, youre growing old
The whole time we knew
A couple of years Id be through
Has boxing been good to you?
Howard, now I confess Im scared and lonely and tired
They seem to think Im made of clay
Another day, Im not cut out for this
I just know what to say, I say
Boxings been good to me, Howard
Now Im told, youre growing old
The whole time we knew
A couple of years Id be through
Has boxing been good to you?
Well sometimes I punch myself as hard as I can
Yelling nobody cares hoping someone will tell me how
Wrong I am
Boxings been good to me, Howard
Now Im told, youre growing old
The whole time you knew
A couple of years Id be through
Has boxing been good
Has boxing been good
Has boxing been good
