"The Champ" lyrics - RECKLESS KELLY

Another knockdown
Drag out war of attrition
Fame to trade in poppy style
Full gallop sittin' tall in the saddle
Well, look back and let the arrows fly

[Chorus:]
Another hunter has become the hunted
In the blink of an eye
For every hard-won battle, baby
There's a losing side
I'll give it to you
You're the champ tonight

High noon and we're standin' on Main Street
All or nothing, and there's no backing out
No second thoughts about a reputation
Just clear leather and the hammer comes down

[Chorus:]
Living always and always dying
If only on the inside
For every hard-won battle, baby
There's a losing side
It doesn't matter
You're the champ tonight

[Bridge:]
Now you're back on the ropes
With an uppercut coming
Another haymaker and we'll call it a night
But you're wearing me out
And I'm letting my guard down
A rope-a-dope, surprise, surprise

[Chorus:]
And now the crowd's gonna get what they paid for
Nobody's taking a dive
For every hard-won battle, baby
I'll hand it to you
You're the champ tonight
You're the champ tonight
You're the champ tonight
