[00:31.66] The lights are spinnin'
[00:33.51] I gotta get myself up off the floor
[00:36.72] My head is ringin'
[00:39.71] Bet they think I can't take too much more
[00:43.31] The crowd is howlin'
[00:46.37] Like the ocean's pounding roar
[00:50.11] My legs are goin' out
[00:53.37] Someone up there don't like me
[00:55.83]
[03:02.81][02:49.33][01:47.53][00:57.73] Now my right and my left will decide
[03:05.41][02:51.88][01:50.02][01:01.27] 'Cause they're done with this bum takin' dives
[03:08.65][02:55.27][01:53.47][01:04.66] Now my eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears
[03:12.71][02:59.32][01:57.72][01:08.77] But I see salvation tonight
[03:15.61][02:00.37][01:11.42] In a left and a right
[01:12.81]
[01:19.63] Called me a kid, champ or lefty
[01:21.24] A bowery kid to the core
[01:25.02] Fast cars and hipster movie stars
[01:28.67] I ain't got none of that anymore
[01:31.69] Now I'm down in the seventh
[01:34.88] In the eighth my ribs are sore
[01:38.41] In the ninth I'm staggerin'
[01:41.97] Someone up there don't like me
[02:03.87][01:44.22]
[02:20.90] It's a one-way ticket
[02:23.68] Smart money's showin' me the door
[02:26.92] Backed on the ropes now
[02:30.42] Someone up there don't like me anymore
[02:33.35] When the crowd goes silent
[02:36.80] One thing that I know for sure
[02:40.20] Knock me down one time
[02:43.58] I'll be comin' back for more
[03:18.37][02:46.94]
