Lyrics
Rocky's on the ropes again
Holding on to what he's never been
The faded poster hides
A lifetime filled with compromise
Forever left to fend
On those he could depend
Oh, my rocky friend
Rocky's climbing up again
On a childhood valley mountain's silver frame
The extra was so fine
But oh, for just another line
No matter what it means
If he could see it on the screen
Oh, my rocky friend
He's heading south to try his luck on new terrain
To work that old routine and play the old refrain
The memories are gone
But the hurt goes on and on again
Rocky's on the ropes again
And the road will be his only friend
He's waking Emily
For something they won't ever see
And you will never hear
Before they disappear
Oh, my rocky friend
