The Champ - Reckless Kelly

Another knock down, drag out war of attrition

A feigned retreat in Parthian style

Full gallop sittin' tall in the saddle

Well, look back and let the arrows fly

Another hunter has become the hunted

In the blink of an eye

For every hard won battle, baby

There’s a losing side

I’ll give it to you, you’re the champ tonight

High noon and we’re standin' on Main Street

All or nothin', and there’s no backing out

No second thoughts about a reputation

Just clear leather and the hammer comes down

Living always and always dyin'

If only on the inside

For every hard won battle, baby

There’s a losing side

It doesn’t matter, you’re the champ tonight

Now you’re back on the ropes with an uppercut comin'

Another haymaker, and we’ll call it a night

But you’re wearin' me out, and I’m lettin' my guard down

A rope-a-dope surprise, surprise

And now the crowd’s gonna get what they paid for

Nobody’s takin' a dive

For every hard won battle, baby

There’s a losing side

I’ll hand it to you, you’re the champ tonight

You’re the champ tonight

You’re the champ tonight
