This one goes out to my buddy Aaron , a fellow John Edwards fan. <\/p>\n

I propose this song<\/a> as John Edwards’ new theme song. The phrase “left and right” takes on new meaning when you take it from boxing and put it to politics. Whaddya think?<\/p>\n

“The Contender”
\nRoyal Crown Revue<\/a><\/p>\n

The lights are spinnin’
\nI gotta get myself up off the floor
\nMy head is ringin’
\nBet they think I can’t take too much more
\nThe crowd is howlin’
\nLike the ocean’s pounding roar
\nMy legs are goin’ out
\nSomeone up there don’t like me<\/p>\n

Now my right and my left will decide
\n‘Cause they’re done with this bum takin’ dives
\nNow my eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears
\nBut I see salvation tonight
\nIn a left and a right<\/p>\n

Called me a kid, champ or lefty
\nA bowery kid to the core
\nFast cars and hipster movie stars
\nI ain’t got none of that anymore
\nNow I’m down in the seventh
\nIn the eighth my ribs are sore
\nIn the ninth I’m staggerin’
\nSomeone up there don’t like me<\/p>\n

It’s a one-way ticket
\nSmart money’s showin’ me the door
\nBacked on the ropes now
\nSomeone up there don’t like me anymore
\nWhen the crowd goes silent
\nOne thing that I know for sure
\nKnock me down one time
\nI’ll be comin’ back for more<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
