The Fighter Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

I seen an old fighter, tired and in trouble 

Who just couldn't take anymore 

Somethin' inside him kept fighting to finish 

With only his feet on the floor-yeah 

Lord, I know that it's worth any price you could pay 

To see truth in whatever disguise 

But I'd payed double for one look of pleasure 

A piece of relief in his eyes. 

Ain't that clown, laughin' like crazy 

Ain't his eyes empty and deep 

Don't he sound sad as a baby 

When she cries out in her sleep

We measured the space between Waylon and Willie 

And Willie and Waylon and me 

But there wasn't nothin' like Billy Jo Shaver 

What Billy Jo Shaver should be-no 

When he showed up sick later all bit by a spider 

And crazy to look in the eye 

He put on a show that was sad as it should of been 

And nobody even knew why

Ain't that clown laughin' like crazy 

Ain't his eyes empty and deep 

Don't he sound sad as a baby 

When she cries out in her sleep
