FACE OF A FIGHTER
(Willie Nelson)

Willie Nelson
recorded 1961


These lines in my face, caused from worry,
Grow deeper as you walk out of sight.
Mine is the face of a fighter,
But my heart has just lost the fight!

Round one, you told me you loved me,
An' I felt my heart fallin' there and then!
The last round, you walked off and left me,
And I guess my heart's losin' again!

Mine is the face of a fighter,
I fought for your love with all my might!
Mine is the face of a fighter,
But my heart has just lost the fight!

Yes, mine is the face of a fighter,
I fought for your love with all my might!
Mine is the face of a fighter,
But my heart has just lost the fight!
