lyrics
I get nervous right before they call my name
The adrenaline that runs through my veins
Makes my hands shift and shake
Will this be the night I make my name?
All I hope is that I make them all proud
And hear them all scream my name out loud
I can taste the glitz and the glamour
I hope I'm in the Gods' favour
Round one and the bells go off
We dance round each other like kids in the playground
Neither one wants to fire their gun
Because when we do there is only one way out
Round two and it goes to you
Rounds three and four have me on the floor
But rounds five and six I've got some tricks to show you
My wife and children are sat by the ringside
I can almost hear them crying
As he drives his fists into my face
I'm on the ropes
Held firmly in my place
Round seven's when I knew I should have listened
To everything that my wife had said
Round Eight and I'm filled with hate
And I swear that soon I will make him dead
Rounds Nine and Ten I rally again
I can see myself winning in the end
But then comes eleven and the beating that I'm given
Makes me wonder if I'll even make it out of this thing living...
One last round
Take me down
One more Bout
Knock
Me
Out
