Duke Special - Punch of a Friend lyrics

Make an example of me, hold me up to the light If I don't seem that strong, maybe there's a strength implied Then take a medicine ball, throw it with all of your might Maybe it will put some wind back into these lungs of mine I kept the names from the twins and fell asleep in the chair Though I didn't ask you up, I'm kind of glad that you are here It caught me clean on the chin, you laid me out of my back Then you help me up, embarra**ed by the love of the friends attack When I'm blind in pride and I won't be bent Though it seems unkind, I'm better for the punch of a friend They say a cure for the numb is a jolt to the heart Then you might see my eyes grateful for the burn of a true friend's spark When I'm blind in pride and I won't be bent Though it seems unkind, I'm better for the punch of a friend When there's no recourse, but the most direct Though it seems unkind, I'm better for the punch of a friend I'm better for the punch of a friend I'm better for the punch of a friend I'm better for the punch of a friend I'm better for the punch of a friend I'm better for the punch of a friend
