Tomato can

Did anybody hear
The kid from Bakersfield?
They told him when to fall
And how to fake and roll
But the kid could really fight, it wasn't right

Did anybody see
A crowd of savage men
Try to make a fool of him
And pay him not to win?
His heart was in the ring
He'd fight most anything
Lose it all just to win it back again
Tomato Can

They hold him in their hands
And cheer him from the stands
He fights for all the folks
Who live against the ropes
The need for him, to bleed for them is real

Did anybody see
A crowd of savage men
Try to make a fool of him
And pay him not to win?
His heart was in the ring
He'd fight most anything
Lose it all just to win it back again
Tomato Can

Did anybody hear
The kid from Bakersfield?
He laid down in the ring
All the lights went dim
The need for him, to bleed for them was true

Did anybody see
A crowd of savage men
Try to make a fool of him
And pay him not to win?
His heart was in the ring
He'd fight most anything
Lose it all just to win it back again
Lose it all just to win it back again
