Lyrics

Well this life ain?t so gracious
What you give is only taken
And if your dad could see you now
He?d be laughing right out loud
To see the boy with the golden hair
The champion of them all

It?s another round for the West End Kid

In a steel town you do what?s expected
No one here has high expectations
So you set out on your own
Fought your way up to the stars
If the devil got in your way
You?d show him just who you are

It?s another round for the West End Kid

With a fighter?s breath and gin soaked eyes
A jukebox heart and a street smart mind

And this life ain?t so kind
Well, the kid stealing food to survive
Frankie and Caveman
Sitting down at Paige?s bar
Where a picture hangs beneath the neon light
A tribute to the West End Star
All along Wabash Street
Dirt hanging off the walls
The boys will tell you twenty years ago
He was the champion of them all

It?s another round for the West End Kid
