In a fight with a black bear
Two fists and I'm grinding my teeth
I was never really that scared
I'll let him kill me
Not really sure how I got there
I think somebody paid the referee
Then again, it never was fair
This bear should fear me

I'm going into this year
With a knife behind my back
It's getting harder to hear
I'll read your lips as you laugh
Black bear, standing with gloves
Wish I could show you I'm tough
Black bear, you're eating me up

So tough, let me show you my guts
So tough, let me show you my guts
So tough, let me show you my—

Won a fight with a black bear
Put his claws in a trophy case
Hope I'm never going back there
I'll make them pay
I've got the body of a black bear
Will anybody come and share this weight?
Two fists and I'm back there
To dig his grave

I'm going into this year
With a knife behind my back
It's getting harder to hear
I'll read your lips as you laugh
Black bear, standing with gloves
Wish I could show you I'm tough
Black bear, you're eating me up

So tough, let me show you my guts
So tough, let me show you my guts
(So tough, let me show you my—)

I'm going into this year
With a knife behind my back
It's getting harder to hear
I'll break your ribs if you laugh
Black bear, standing with gloves
Wish I could show you I'm tough
Black bear, you're eating me up
So tough, let me show you my guts
Black bear, standing with gloves
Wish I could show you I'm tough
Black bear, you're eating me up

I'm so tough, let me show you my guts
I'm so tough, let me show you my guts
(With gloves, wish I could show you)
