When you think

You're gonna fall

And you’re up

Against a wall

You gotta give as hard as it comes

You gotta make it right

No, you can’t give up the fight

Because you live

Your life only once

So when you stagger

Round the ring

Cannot lift a hand

To swing

Love takes a toll, the fights nearly done

You gotta show 'em how

You can’t throw in the towel

You get to roll the dice only once

Though the day

Is weighing down on me

Oh tonight I can be free

I will raise a glass or three

And kill the pain with victory

She might just never come back ol' friend

But tonight I can pretend

My heart is on the mend

And I will come home in the end

When you know

You’ve had enough

And the water's

Getting rough

You gotta keep your hands on the wheel

Keep your eye

Straight ahead

You’re as good

As they get

You'll make you home with a heart of steel

So when you’re floating

Through the night

And cannot muster

The might

And you are far, away from your home

You’ll make it back to port

Cos' in the long and the short

There’s nothing like

The faces you know

Though the day is weighing down on me

Oh tonight I can be free

I will raise a glass or three

And kill the pain with victory

She might just never come back ol' friend

But tonight I can pretend

My heart is on the mend

And I will come home in the end

Ooooooooh (x2)

Though the day is weighing down on me

Oh tonight I can be free

I will raise a glass or three

And kill the pain with victory

She might just never come back ol' friend

But tonight I can pretend

My heart is on the mend

And I will come home in the end
