I apologize, but it seems like there is some confusion here. The song "The Boxer" was actually written and performed by Simon & Garfunkel, not Waylon Jennings. It was released in 1969 on their album "Bridge over Troubled Water." "The Boxer" tells the story of a young man who leaves his home and family to pursue a better life, but finds himself struggling and alone in the city. He is met with disappointment and rejection as he tries to find work, and even finds solace in the company of prostitutes on Seventh Avenue. The lyrics also introduce the character of a boxer, who serves as a metaphor for the struggles and hardships faced by the protagonist. The boxer bears the physical and emotional scars from the fights he has been in but continues to persevere, never giving up. Overall, the song explores themes of loneliness, perseverance, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. It speaks to the human desire to overcome obstacles and continue fighting, despite the hardships faced along the way.
