Gotta bar lean I'm looking mean,
I need a drink I've gotta drink to think, 
You say I'm drunk but that's me in the mirror, 
Looking for a fight who says
Come and hit me (falling to the ground) 
Knee me in the groin (won't make a sound) 
Head over heels for a fight with you, 
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two. 

You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man, 
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going down, 
You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man, 
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going
Now I'm going down. 

Back to the wall and out for the count
Rock and reel, do you know how I feel? 
Swim in swinging I'm blind as an eel
Don't you push ‘cos I'm coming back, 
You come and hit me (falling to the ground) 
You knee me in the groin won't make a sound, 
Head over heels for a fight with you, 
I'm gonna teach you a trick or two.

You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man, 
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going down, 
You know, in my life, I've been a fighting man, 
Hard times, hit me, now I'm going
Now I'm going down.
