All though he may be rough
His heart's filled with love
And when it's time to wear the gloves
He'll stand tall and go the miles
Not a man of graceful words
Prose nor verse
Known to drink and curse
And he always leaves you with a smile, yeah
Often misunderstood
A faithful protector
Blocking what he could
And taking the rest
On the chin
Though he's not a wealthy man
He'd spare his only dollar
Quick to lend a hand
And jump back in the fight again
Always the last one, to leave the ring
Always fast to, get up again
Wore his body away
Gave his heart to a girl
And now the fighter can rest tonight
No life isn't kind
It wears all things
But you can't dull the shine
Of the stories from our youth
Now He's hit one last time
The fighter can't go on
Though he wasn't here for long
He sure was something in his prime
Always the last one, to leave the ring
Always fast to get up again
Wore his body away
Gave his heart to a girl
And now the fighter can rest tonight
And now the fighter can rest tonight
Here's to the fighter we say goodbye
The fighter, can rest tonight
