Lee Dewyze Takes On The Boxer - American Idol 2010 (Lyrics)

All eyes were on the top seven tonight as they performed their picks for inspirational week this week on American Idol under the guidance. Lee Dewyze took on The Boxer, a song by Simon and Garfunkel, and his performance is one that will be remembered.

The judges also seemed to be impressed with his performance tonight as well. Simon said his performance was emotional and inspirational, while Kara Dioguardi said he had his moment tonight. Did he though? Is he one you're watching? Did he have your vote tonight on American Idol?

All the talk this season is focused on Crystal Bowersox, but someone has to go up against her in the finale if she makes it there. Could Lee be it?

The Boxer Lyrics

I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest (hmmmm....mmmm......)

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers.....
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(La la la la li...)

Seeking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job, but I get no offers.....
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there (li la la, la, la la)

Now the years are rolling by me, they are rockin' even me
I am older than I once was, and younger than I'll be, that's not unusual
No it isn't strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same
After changes we are more or less the same ...

(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(La la la la li...)

And I'm laying out my winter clothes, wishing I was gone, goin' home
Where the New York city winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me to go home

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
Yes, he still remains ...
