To desperation and I
The whole time we knew
I drop my fists
The whole time we knew
And all my dreams they pivot and slip
When I take a good swing
Howard
A couple of years I'd be through
Boxing's been good to me, Howard
I just know what to say and I say
And they're back, laughing
Everyone says I'm made of clay
Boxing's been good to me, Howard
Has boxing been good?
Hard as I can
Howard, my intentions
You're growin' old
You're growin' old
The whole time we knew
Has boxing been good to you?
That I've had my day
Become not to lose
That I'm not cut out for this
Hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am
Boxing's been good to me, Howard
Yelling, nobody cares
Has boxing been good to you?
You're growin' old
I'm scared and lonely and tired
Now I'm told
What I've won
A couple of years I'd be through
Now I'm told
Now I'm told
Well, sometimes I punch myself
I've lost the fight from my eyes
A couple of years I'd be through
Howard, now I confess
Has boxing been good?
Ambition has given way
