The Fighter Lyrics

I seen an old fighter, tired and in trouble

Who just couldn't take anymore

Somethin' inside him kept fighting to finish

With only his feet on the floor-yeah

Lord, I know that it's worth any price you could pay

To see truth in whatever disguise

But I'd payed double for one look of pleasure

A piece of relief in his eyes.

Chorus:

Ain't that clown, laughin' like crazy

Ain't his eyes empty and deep

Don't he sound sad as a baby

When she cries out in her sleep

We measured the space between Waylon and Willie

And Willie and Waylon and me

But there wasn't nothin' like Billy Jo Shaver

What Billy Jo Shaver should be-no

When he showed up sick later all bit by a spider

And crazy to look in the eye

He put on a show that was sad as it should of been

And nobody even knew why

Chorus:

Ain't that clown laughin' like crazy

Ain't his eyes empty and deep

Don't he sound sad as a baby

When she cries out in her sleep
