The Glorious Sons - The Contender lyrics

I could have been a contender, but my head wasn't cold enough. As a child, my wild eyes made up for what I was not. Yeah!!! Now the chains are at home and I don't even care. I'm too young to be sure and I'm far too old to be scared. Chorus By the gun, by the bullet, by the trigger, by the time. I could have been a contender. By the last drop of blood that I could squeeze from my pride. I'm gonna be a contender. I'm gonna be a Contender Well if you think its easy, you best come well prepared. I live in no man's land, and you'll have to k** me there. I still love the taste of sweat and I love the smell of blood. Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah! I love the rattle in my head.I love the fire in my lungs Chorus You were right too. Ain't matter bout the things your mother never taught ya cause I was there when the upper cut caught ya. I was there for the 10 count. (Woo hoo hoo) To tell you the truth you're better being naked with d**h. You're better off making with regret. You're better off making with your truth. I'd still put my money on you x 3 Cause kid you got heart Solo Chorus x 2
