first time I heard this I was like, that's Tom Cochrane his unique voice, able to sing diff styles, perfect song..this sounds like a song the wallflowers might of done in the 90s.... Bob Dylans son jacob
I can help you with the lyrics. Asked Tom about it and the reason the words are like that is because that's the way Ali talks because of Parkinson's Disease. Tom's dad Tuck died from Parkinson's.
Hollis Brown Awesome! Thanks for that regarding Ali. I knew about his Dad. I’ve been a fan of this song for years! Would listen to it before the gym. But it would be great to have lyrics.
Love this song. Great Stuff. Having a hell of a time figuring out most of the lyrics though. anybody know where i can find them? Thanks vanlkg. Great upload.

Look at that medal now won't it look pretty
It's lyin' at the bottom of the muddy Mississippi
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Just like Ali
Paid for salvation I stood by my cause
Delivered some blows like sweet Santa Claus
Didn't hurt no one, but some they mighta hated me
Indeed I did it my way indeed that's the truth
Stood by the valley stepped down on my roots
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Just like Ali

This beat is fucking sick, jesus....
I was disappointed the Michael Mann movie didn’t delve deeper into Ali’s refusal to be drafted. It’s what I admire, and in awe of, the most.
Super

Songwriters: Thomas William Cochrane
N 1 in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what year did this song come out anyway?
Shame the album didn't include lyrics for any of the songs
HybridProjectAlpha agreed!
just like ali
@HybridProjectAlpha don't understand a thing he sayin, only at the chorus and a lil bit after
Josémar Pérez Y Gabort I agree. It’s such a shame. I wish I could find the lyrics.
Does it get any better? Nope.
