Fighter

Lyrics: [Verse 1] It's like I'm hitting a wall I've reached my limit there's no one to call shattered the glass way too fast It's a battle that I must outlast, Winning this will need attrition and a strong constitution [Chorus] But there’s a spark in the ashes, a fire in the stone A spirit that refuses to be left here alone Yeah, the road might be broken, and the night might be long But the whiskey is heavy, and the heartbeat is strong You can bend me and break me, but I’m standing my ground 'Cause a fighter like me don't go easily down. [Verse 2] The clock on the wall is ticking away Counting the ghosts of yesterday My boots are worn, my knuckles are sore From throwing punches at a locked-up door But a little bit of dirt never hurt a man’s soul It just builds the engine that keeps him whole. [Chorus] But there’s a spark in the ashes, a fire in the stone A spirit that refuses to be left here alone Yeah, the road might be broken, and the night might be long But the whiskey is heavy, and the heartbeat is strong You can bend me and break me, but I’m standing my ground 'Cause a fighter like me don't go easily down. [Verse 3] The morning light is starting to bleed Giving me exactly the clarity I need The dust is settling on this battlefield But I’m still holding onto this shield No white flag is waving, no surrender tonight Just a stubborn old cowboy ready for the fight. [Chorus] But there’s a spark in the ashes, a fire in the stone A spirit that refuses to be left here alone Yeah, the road might be broken, and the night might be long But the whiskey is heavy, and the heartbeat is strong You can bend me and break me, but I’m standing my ground 'Cause a fighter like me don't go easily down.
