[00:00.00]The Boxer (拳击手) - Deana Carter
[00:11.20]I am just a poor boy
[00:14.02]Though my story is seldom told
[00:16.95]I have squandered my resistance
[00:20.47]For a pocketful of mumbles  such are promises
[00:26.18]
[00:28.08]All lies and jest
[00:30.16]Still a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:34.12]And disregards the rest
[00:37.00]
[00:49.04]When I left my home and my family
[00:52.09]I was no more than a boy
[00:55.43]In the company of strangers
[00:58.78]In the quiet of the railway station  runnin' scared
[01:05.02]
[01:06.84]Layin' low  seekin' out the poorer quarters
[01:12.26]Where the ragged people go
[01:15.06]Lookin' for the places  only they would know
[01:20.79]
[01:21.87]Lie-la-lie
[01:24.52]
[01:42.38]Asking only workman's wages
[01:45.15]I come lookin' for a job
[01:48.31]But I get no offers  just a come on
[01:54.09]From the whores on Seventh Avenue
[01:59.77]I do declare there were times
[02:03.22]When I was so lonesome
[02:05.77]I took some comfort there
[02:08.22]La  la  la  la  la  la  la
[02:13.19]
[02:47.05]Lie-la-lie
[02:49.49]
[03:07.37]And I'm layin' out my winter clothes
[03:10.70]And wishin' I was gone  goin' home
[03:16.58]
[03:17.35]Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
[03:23.22]
[03:25.27]Leadin' me home  goin' home
[03:33.34]
[03:40.76]In the clearing stands
[03:42.39]A boxer and a fighter by his trade
[03:47.01]And he carries the reminders
[03:50.63]Of every glove that laid him down
[03:54.12]Or cut him 'til he cried out
[03:57.05]In his anger and his shame
[04:00.14]"I am leavin'  I am leavin'"
[04:03.72]But the fighter still remains  still remains
[04:08.80]
[04:15.79]Lie-la-lie
