Gotta bar lean, I'm looking mean

I need a drink, I've gotta drink to think

You say I'm drunk but that's me in the mirror

Looking for a fight who says "..."



Come and hit me, falling to the ground

Knee me in the groin, won't make a sound

Head over heels for a fight with you

I'm gonna teach you a trick or two



[CHORUS:]

You know in my life, I've been a fighting man

Hard times hit me, now I'm going down

You know in my life, I've been a fighting man

Hard times hit me, now I'm going

Now I'm going down



Back to the wall and out for the count

Rock and reel, do you know how I feel?

Swim in swinging I'm blind as an eel

Don't you push cause I'm coming back



You come and hit me, falling to the ground

Knee me in the groin, won't make a sound

Head over heels for a fight with you

I'm gonna teach you a trick or two



[REPEAT CHORUS]



[SOLO]



You know in my life, I've been a fighting man

Hard times hit me, now I'm going down

You know in my life, I've been a fighting man

Hard times hit me, now I'm going down



[REPEAT CHORUS]
