Rory Gallagher - 'kid' Gloves lyrics

rate me

Well, they sprung me out of Quentin,<br />

I'm back on the mob's payroll<br />

They can buy my body<br />

Sure they can't buy my soul.<br />

I'm working out of Stockton<br />

I''m weighing in at two -o -one<br />

But there's a man in the front row<br />

Sent down by the mob with a gun.<br />

<br />

For 'Kid Gloves', 'Kid Gloves', I'm back out on the street.<br />

'Kid Gloves', the master to the beat<br />

'Kid Gloves', I'll do anything but dive.<br />

<br />

We'll the bought me out of Quentin.<br />

They've gone and placed their bets.<br />

I've got to throw the fight<br />

Just to save my neck.<br />

Saying 'yes' to the set up<br />

Made me feel so cheap<br />

But the street felt so good<br />

Now I've only got myself to beat<br />

<br />

A deal is a deal<br />

But you know I just can't win<br />

The mob oughta know<br />

My conscience is wearing thin<br />

<br />

For 'Kid' Gloves, I'm back in the ring<br />

'Kid ' Gloves, I'll fight anything<br />

'Kid" Gloves, I'll do anything but dive.<br />

<br />

'Kid Gloves', I'm back on the street<br />

'Kid" Gloves the master to beat<br />

"Kid" Gloves, I'll do anything but cry,<br />

<br />

'Kid' Gloves, I'm back on my feet<br />

"Kid" Gloves, The master to beat<br />

"Kid" Gloves, I'll do anything but cry<br />

<br />

"Kid" Gloves, I'm back in the ring.<br />

"Kid Gloves, I'll fight anything<br />

"Kid Gloves" I'll do anything but dive<br />

<br />

Well, they burned me out of Quentin,<br />

They've gone and placed their bets<br />

I've got to throw a fight<br />

Just to save my neck.<br />

Saying yes to the set up<br />

Made me feel so cheap<br />

But the street felt so good<br />

Now I've only got myself to beat<br />

<br />

"Kid Gloves, I'm back out on the street<br />

"Kid' Gloves, the master to beat<br />

'Kid' Gloves, I'll do anything but dive<br />

<br />

'Kid' Gloves, I'm back in the ring<br />

"Kid" Gloves, I'll fight anything<br />

'Kid' Gloves, I'll do anything but cry<br />

<br />

"Kid Gloves, I'm faster on my feet<br />

"Kid Gloves, the master to beat<br />

'Kid" gloves, I'll do anything but dive
