lyrics

Last night I dreamed that
I was a boxer
Walking home through the city
after winning a fight
The drunks called me Champ and
the whores called me Baby
But my love called me home through
the cold, rainy night

My friends called me reckless
I thought I knew better
I said I've got one more
fight in me, I'm sure
but I ain't no young man
and the next time I fall down
it'll only be pride that I stand back up for

My manager, Johnny, said we had a good run
I'm luck I still have my health and my mind
and with the purse from this last fight,
I can pay off my mortgage
and try to forget that I ache all the time

I went home to my baby
the house stood in darkness
the bell was still ringing
loud and clear in my head
I laid myself down and
drifted off next to her
where nothing existed
but me and her and this bed

When I woke I was naked
and pressed against my lover
her hips bucking wildly against mine
But never once did she
turn her eyes to look at me
I suppose that I could have been anyone
just for that short time
