(Gary Cooper is a young pro-fighter who took up boxing after seeing his older sister, Lana, in an amateur contest. He took to it himself and never looked back. He loves boxing, but it often gets him in trouble outside the ring.)
Gary Cooper - High Noon
They always play the same hand
When I roll into town
And this gunslinger’s burden
It begins to weigh me down
Reputation proceeds me
But I know for sure somehow
That if I weren’t a fighter
They’d have seen me killed by now
My name might be Gary Cooper
But this picture ain’t High Noon
Judge, I say, I’m innocent
I’m asking seriously
A pro fighter on the high street
Town trouble comes to me
But I’ll keep up the fighting
As they seek me out time on time
Devil will have to wait his turn
At the back of this small-town line
And I can’t believe they haven’t learnt the lesson
And I can’t believe they think they’ll win
I can’t get how many times I show ‘em
And it’s still not sinking in
My name might be Gary Cooper
But this picture ain’t High Noon
Judge, I say, I’m innocent
I’m asking seriously
A pro fighter on the high street
Town trouble comes to me
They always play the same hand
When I roll into town
This gunslinger’s burden
It begins to weigh me down
