The Champ Lyrics - Singles - Falls Whiskey

He comes from the streets he grew up in the bars 

He cut his teeth on his daddys guitar 

He lived every line that hes ever sung 

He made believers to all that said it couldnt be done 

He worked on his chops eight hours a day 

While learning the ropes and climbing the ranks 

He kicked and he scratched to get his shot 

And he never kissed ass on his way to the top 

He says, hey, man 

Here I am rocking the stage and shaking the stands 

with the punch of the drums the blast of the amps 

A sold out show every time I jam 

And hey, man 

Here I am living the life with world in my hands 

A rush from the crowd the roar of the fans 

And when the light comes up 

He feels like the champ 

He feels like the champ 

He says theirs always a new kid coming to town 

Looking for ways to try and knock him down 

They got hungry eyes and a passion that burns 

Chomping at the bit to get their turn 

He seen a thousand faces come and go 

But hes still here nobody steels his show 

With a bottle a gin and a martin guitar 

Man the worlds never seen a bigger star 

He says, hey, man 

Here I am rocking the stage and shaking the stands 

with the punch of the drums the blast of the amps 

A sold out show every time I jam 

And hey, man 

Here I am living the life with world in my hands 

A rush from the crowd the roar of the fans 

And when the light comes up 

He feels like the champ 

He feels like the champ 

He steps under the lights at Broadway and Main 

Takes a pull from the bottle to warm up 

And hes got dirt on his face 

An open case at his feet as the people pass by 

Tossing change at his feet 

He sleeps under the bridge in a cardboard box 

But when the stars come out hes ready to rock 

He says, hey, man 

Here I am rocking the stage and shaking the stands 

With the punch of the drums the blast of the amps 

A sold out show every time I jam 

And hey man 

Here I am living the life with world in my hands 

A rush from the crowd the roar of the fans 

And when the light comes up 

He feels like the champ 

He feels like the champ
