The Wrestler - Alternate version - Bradford and Lasso - Bruce Springsteen cover

Just for me personally, I favor this take. I just like the overall feel of it. But hey, that's just me. :)

(If Lasso has an opinion on this, I will let you all know)

Hope you all enjoy this,

The Wrestler
(words and music by Bruce Springsteen)

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me

Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me

Chorus:
Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, fan, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me

Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me
