Howard, the strangest things Have happened lately when I Take a good swing at all my dreams They pivot and slip I drop my fists and they're back Laughing Howard, My intention's become Not to lose what I've won Ambition has given way to Desperation and I Lost the fight for my eyes [Chorus] Boxing's been good to me, Howard Now I'm told, "you're growing old" The whole time we knew A couple of years I'd be through Has boxing been good to you? Howard, now I confess I'm scared and lonely and tired They seem to think I'm made of clay Another day I'm not cut out for this I just know what to say I say [Chorus] Well sometimes I punch myself Hard as I can, yelling "nobody cares" Hoping some one will tell me How wrong I am Howard, [Chorus] Boxing's been good to me Howard Now I'm told "you're growing old" The whole time you knew A couple of years I'd be through Has boxing been good Has boxing been good Has boxing been good
If you look up "wokeupwaytoolate", go to the video archive, you can find the whole thing. There are lots of gems there that aren't on youtube for some reason!
