The Boxer

The sun came out on Friday
She told me she was done
Patched up her cuts and scratches
She said, "I think my time has come
To run from the hometown weather
Run through the fire and the flood"
She said, "It's now or never
I got fighting in my blood"

When the old man walked out last summer
Soon after the fire went through
There wasn't much left when the post office closed
Mummy said, what else can we do?
Girl, you're better off leaving
Don't get stuck in the country mud
But she walked out with the gloves in her hands
And fighting in her blood

Little girls gotta do what little girls gotta do
She's gotta do what little girls gotta do
Little girls gotta do what little girls gotta do
She's gotta do what little girls gotta do

Bells rang out on Saturday night
She stepped out into the ring
The little girl came out dancing
And the crowd began to sing
When combinations kept on coming
If not for money then do it for love
She said, "I gotta roll with the punches
'Cause I got fighting in my blood"

Little girls gotta do what little girls gotta do
Little girls gotta do what little girls gotta do
Little girls gotta do what little girls gotta do
Little girls gotta do what little girls gotta do
