[Verse 1]
Did anybody hear?
The kid from Bakersfield
They told him when to fall
And how to fake and roll
But the kid could really fight, it wasn't right
[Chorus]
Did anybody see?
A crowd of savage men
Try to make a fool of him
And pay him not to win
His heart was in the ring
He'd fight most anything
Lose it all just to win it back again
Tomato Can
[Verse 2]
They hold him in their hands
And cheer him from the stands
He fights for all the folks
Who live against the ropes
The need for him, to bleed for them is real
[Chorus]
Did anybody see?
A crowd of savage men
Try to make a fool of him
And pay him not to win
His heart was in the ring
He'd fight most anything
Lose it all just to win it back again
Tomato Can
[Bridge]
Did anybody hear?
The kid from Bakersfield
He laid down in the ring
All the lights went dim
The need for him, to bleed for them was true
[Chorus]
Did anybody see?
A crowd of savage men
Try to make a fool of him
And pay him not to win
His heart was in the ring
He'd fight most anything
Lose it all just to win it back again
Lose it all just to win it back again
Tomato Can
