Canvas and Leather Songtext
von On Tonight

I′m gonna lace 'em up high tonight
These shoes that don′t know how to take flight
I always said I had a fire in me
'Bout time I burned it bright

And so I wrap these hands up tight
They've served me well my whole life
I always knew I had a fighter in me
Gonna show everyone I′m right

I′ve been long away, misled some say
I just needed some time to think
About the win and the loss, and the pain and cost
And how it felt to be in that ring

Canvas and leather, sweat and blood and scars
Live on forever, from the very start
If I never had desire, I'd have never made it this far
Canvas and leather, the make-up of my heart


I′ve been down for years it seems
Knocked out by my dreams
I always thought I was invincible
'Til I learned what modest means

So I′m climbing through these ropes again
And I'll fight through every round
To find out what I′m still made of
When that opening bell does sound

Canvas and leather, sweat and blood and scars
Live on forever, from the very start
If I never had desire, I'd have never made it this far
Canvas and leather, the make-up of my heart

Humble in victory, gracious in defeat
No matter what the outcome, I'll always have that fire
The fighter inside of me

Canvas and leather, sweat and blood and scars
Live on forever, from the very start
If I never had desire, I′d have never made it this far
Canvas and leather, the make-up of my heart
