Prizefighter from Lone Rider by D.C. Maxwell
A song about someone watching their lover destroy themselves for their art. This quiet moment on the record played with dreamy Rhodes, piano, and lap steel. Vocals spread openly like a secret confided in a backroom while ‘the prizefighter’ sleeps.

Lyrics
My baby’s a prizefighter
He’s never met a man he couldn’t knock to the ground
The men around him screaming
Calling out his name yelling kill him hurt him you can take him down
Chorus:
But they don’t see the moment
When my baby’s home
Naked in the bathroom and weeping in my arms
He’ll be in bed for weeks
His eyes swollen shut his mouth so twisted he can’t speak
But back out in the real world
Everybody shakes his hand he’s the man the people want to meet
Chorus:
He doesn’t see the moment
When I’m home alone
Wishing I didn’t know what love was
