My partner owned a fight club
On the Illinois and Indy line
I would hop in the car and head on up
And I went to stay with him in the springtime
I pick up those sweaty towels
And shove them in the washer to make a size
Then at night he'd let me sneak out of the room
And sit in with the guys
Yeah, I have speared some guys
And pulled my share of muscles along the way
I knew it wouldn't last forever
Semi-pro always means semi-paid
I started climbing ringposts
I'm wrestling trash and
Proud as I can be, yeah
And I took my skills and scars and
Showed them to a man from the WWE
I've wrestled every racist pig in the industry
From New York City out to Pasadena
Every Tomko, Christian and Jerry Lawler!
And I even punched out John Cena
I like to get down with my guys in
The ring and outside it too
Girl, I'm a red, white and blue-blooded
Graduate of Kick-Your-Ass U
A star can't burn forever
And the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
But the glass won't ever be
Half-empty in my optimistic mind
I'll still have an enemy to fight
And a partner to turn it up and fight it proud
As long as there is a wrestling ring with a turnbuckle
And a redneck crowd
I've wrestled every racist pig in the industry
From New York City out to Pasadena
Every Tomko, Christian and Jerry Lawler!
And I even punched out John Cena
I like to get down with my guys in
The ring and outside it too
Girl, I'm a red, white and blue-blooded
Graduate of Kick-Your-Ass U
That's right! A red, white and blue-blooded
Graduate of Kick-Your-Ass U
