Punch Drunk Grinning Soul Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dickford

I think it's about an otherwise proud, strong person who has gone through some sort of pain and suffering, whether that's physical, spiritual, or emotional. He fought hard, but he lost the fight, and life almost delivered a knockout blow. The song encourages him to stay proud and grin through it all, as hard as that may be.
