Lyrics
Nacho’s Everlast gloves left a salt-crust stain
Right beside the tear from the summer of the Golden Gloves.
I used to feel you both, a hard-hitting rain,
The thud of your futures hittin' my gut with love.
You learned to clinch and break on my stitched-up seams,
Practiced the timing of each other’s desperate dreams.
[Chorus]
One hand raised to the camera’s flash,
The other man's ghost in the money and the cash.
The final bell rings out on an empty floor,
And the winner don’t live here anymore.

Then he’d wrap Sal’s hands tight against the comin’ dawn.
[Chorus]
One hand raised to the camera’s flash,
The other man's ghost in the money and the cash.
The final bell rings out on an empty floor,
And the winner don’t live here anymore.
[Bridge]
Four ounce leather.
Bell rings forever.
One man’s name.
Just dust and weather.
[Outro]
My chains don't even groan for him anymore.
There's a fine coat of dust on the boxing-gym floor.
