Shadowboxing

Twenty some years ain’t got much to show
I spend most of my matches with my back against the ropes
There’s a crowd looking on what do you wanna see
Been throwing fights my whole life for the right fee

I need to win one to get me back on my feet
A strong footing to give my punches some heat
Instead of all this shadowboxing

Nothing comes easy and if does it comes cheap
Like a bottom shelf bourbon or the lies that I tell through my teeth
There’s a fire in my eyes and I wanna watch it burn
Kill the man that I was and send the ashes to the urn

I need to win one to get me back on my feet
A strong footing to give my punches some heat
Instead of all this shadowboxing

You might have broken bones but you’ve got soul

I need to win one to get me back on my feet
A strong footing to give my punches some heat

Instead of all this shadowboxing
