The Boxer from Leaving Town by Jack James

Rising star, learned to fight
Talks to you with a strength that's unforgettable

Figured out all his life
Mastered all the skills that he needs at only seventeen

Now time has pushed him aside
He had an early turn in the spotlight
Now he's at the back of the line
In the back of our minds

Still at school, unaware
That beyond this box he won't survive
He doesn't realise that these days are the best of his life

Now time has pushed him aside
He had an early turn in the spotlight
Now he's at the back of the line
In the back of our minds

Married his girl, in their decline
At twenty-one all he did was look behind

Now time has pushed him aside
He had an early turn in the spotlight
Now he's at the back of the line
In the back of our minds
