lyrics

the contender

the rambling life aint easy, but it's the only one I know
wouldn't trade it for nothing, pockets full of gold
you know where the line is
and damn well not to cross
you always find welcome
you never get lost

you are a contender
the last of your kind
and the road goes on and on

at home out on the highway
good times all around
but the lonesome creeps in
when the bright lights go down

and though your soul is bruised
your expression doesn't change
you keep your head up
you stay in the game

you are a contender
the last of your kind
and the road goes on and on

if you think this life could crush you
i promise you it will
cause the wolves get restless
just before the kill
it keeps you up at night
and you don't what to do
but pray for forgiveness
and pray to stay true

you are a contender
the last of your kind
