The Prize Fight - Another Day, Another Struggle lyrics

rate me

Well I've been waiting in the back just wondering how

To make this begin

But under weight of drugs and alcohol

That have rendered me defenseless

You'll call me worthless

I know I'm worth this

And I've been waiting all along

Someday I'll ride this out of here

Where baby, I'll show you how I won't miss home at all

There's a man in the bar who looks up to you

Even though he is like half your age

He's never gonna know what you're going through

Or what it must be like to have to shoulder all the weight

On a daily basis

We put up, we put out, we put in the time

The clock is running out, you gotta do it now

I have much in mind for what's in store

But first I gotta complete this phrase

It's like that man once said

"You gotta hit the ground running or you'll fall,

Before things ever go your way"

So now I'm standing in the back just learning how

To keep this going

But under weight of drugs and alcohol

That have rendered me defenseless

Don't call me worthless

I've gotta have purpose

And I've been waiting all along

Someday I'll ride this out of here

Where baby, I'll show you how I won't miss home at all

The woman in the dark that you're plowing through

Is just another flawless perk of the trade

So many men that I have known are abusing you

Because this is the way you paint yourself on canvas, babe

What an awful price to pay

This is not what I've been looking for

Still it's how I'm gonna spend my days

Since I can't count my sins

I'll cover them up like I know they don't exist

Still I will not be ashamed

Wait...

Besides this awful purpose

That I tend to show some days

I only have the best intentions

So I will not be afraid...

Afraid of what they'll say

There's no more waiting in the back cause I've figured out

A way to begin

And under weight of drugs and alcohol

Is exactly where we wanna be

You can call me worthless

I know my purpose

And I've been ready all along

To ride my calling outta here

Where baby, I'll show you how I won't

How I won't miss

How I won't miss home at all
