The Fighter
I seen an old fighter, tired and in trouble
Who just couldnt take anymore
Somethin inside him kept fighting to finish
With only his feet on the floor-yeah
Lord, I know that its worth any price you could pay
To see truth in whatever disguise
But Id payed double for one look of pleasure
A piece of relief in his eyes.
Chorus:
Aint that clown, laughin like crazy
Aint his eyes empty and deep
Dont 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 wasnt 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:
Aint that clown laughin like crazy
Aint his eyes empty and deep
Dont he sound sad as a baby
When she cries out in her sleep
