"The Boxer" lyrics

"The Boxer"

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da)

Sitting a desk working 9 to 5
Tryna find a reason, to even stay alive
Just one, just one

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da)

He used to be a boxer, he used to be the man
Now he takes out his frustrations anywhere he can
He's still strong, still strong

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da)

Oh, he never let himself go

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da)

Oh, he never let himself go

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da)

Never said he was a sinner, never said he was a saint
He could have made the big time but he never caught a break
He said wait, but he left it too late

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da)

Now he'll know the glory, he'll never have the prize
He's living out his story with tears in his eyes
With no plan, he's a shadow of a man

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da)

Oh, he's a shadow of a man

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da)

Oh, he's a shadow of a man

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da...)
