Hang Up My Gloves - Merle Haggard

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And walk right out door

I’m gonna find me a brand new baby

Who don’t wanna fight no more

You won the winning round when you brought me down

In front of everybody I knew

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And let 'em give the round to you

Well our love’s a fighting arena

And our friends have a ring side view

Well the Friday night fight

Can’t hold a light to the way I have to fight for you

Well I fought my best to win your love

I threw every punch I knew

So I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And let 'em give the round to you

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And walk right out door

I’m gonna find me a brand new baby

Who don’t wanna fight no more

You won the winning round when you brought me down

In front of everybody I knew

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And let 'em give the round to you

Well it’s a life long fight both day and night

Just keeping you around the house

But now I understand you got a corner man

Now I’m a gonna put you out

Well I hung on the rope till I give up hope

Cause you just can’t be true

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And let 'em give the round to you

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And walk right out door

I’m gonna find me a brand new baby

Who don’t wanna fight no more

You won the winning round when you brought me down

In front of everybody I knew

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And let 'em give the round to you

I’m gonna hang up my gloves throw in the towel

And let 'em give the round to you
