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
