When you think
And you're up against a wall
You gotta give as hard as it comes
You gotta make it right
No you can't give up the fight
Because you live
Your life only once
So when you stagger round the ring
Cannot lift a hand to swing
Love takes a toll, the fights nearly done
You gotta show'em how, you can't throw in the towel
You get to roll the dice only once
Though the day is weighing down on me
Oh tonight I can be free
I will raise a glass or three
And kill the pain with victory
She might just never come back ol' friend
But tonight I can pretend
My heart is on the mend
And I will come home in the end
When you know you've had enough
And the water's getting rough
You gotta keep your hands on the wheel
Keep your eye straight ahead
You're as good as they get
You'll make you home
With a heart of steel
So when you're floating through the night
And cannot muster the might
And you are far, away from your home
You'll make it back to port, cos' in the long and the short
There's nothing like the faces you know
Though the day is weighing down on me
Oh tonight I can be free
I will raise a glass or three
And kill the pain with victory
She might just never come back ol' friend
But tonight I can pretend
My heart is on the mend
And I will come home in the end
Ooooooooh
Though the day is weighing down on me
Oh tonight I can be free
I will raise a glass or three
And kill the pain with victory
She might just never come back ol' friend
But tonight I can pretend
My heart is on the mend
And I will come home in the end
