歌曲名 The Pugilist At 59

歌手名 Tom Russell

Rolled out of bed threw some water on my face

Twenty-five sit-ups and I run in place

I put the coffee on but the pot ain't clean

Yeah all you little devils of alcohol and caffeine

A handful of vitamins

drop them on the floor

My ex-girlfriends' are laughing from the icebox door

I put their photos up there yeah we talk all the time

But they ain't talking back now the pugilist is 59

Cold chicken salad a glass of iced tea

Phone bills gas bills electricity

And the mortgage and the junk mail

one old Father's Day card

Yeah go sweat it out kid it's 108 in the yard

Water the lawn trim them old trees

Pray that your gut don't fall down to your knees

And Archie Moore whispers in your ear

Get up kid you're in your prime

Now now the champ's on the ropes

Arch the pugilist is 59

And the rock and the roll

And the fight for your soul goes on and on

You put on the gloves

You're always ready for love

Pray your passion ain't used up and gone yeah

The harder we love the harder we fall

It's cauliflower hearts and old medicine balls

And back street affairs in all the water tank towns

Well there's a mighty thin line

between a heavyweight champ

and a used up old clown

But this is Hollywood kid fear strikes out

Miracles turn around one-sided bouts

Get off the floor kid

the sweet science of them old romantic lines

Hey the champs coming back boys

the pugilist is 59

And the rock and the roll

And the fight for your soul goes on and on

You put on the gloves

You're always ready for love

Pray your passion ain't used up and gone yeah

Roll out of bed water on your face

Twenty-five sit-ups run in place

You put the coffee on but the pot ain't clean

I said all you little devils of alcohol and caffeine

Yeah all you little devils of alcohol and caffeine

I said all you little devils of alcohol and caffeine
