"The Good Fight" lyrics

"The Good Fight"

They talk about their women too much
The women got 'em so confused
They don't talk about their lives as such
My life is all I got to lose

You take it with a grain of salt
And laugh at the complexities
They're good at pickin' all the faults
I keep laughin' so they don't pick me

Jesus, if I had to quit tonight
I'd never know if I was wrong or right
But that's just what you get
You got to go the distance

If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight

The telephone begins to ring
And that could only be one call
I might as well be on the moon
Standin' in the shower stall

I can't believe she picked it up
She didn't know the rules somehow
Then I hear her say hello
Panic in the gray room now

Jesus if I had to quit tonight
She'd kill me whether I was wrong or right
That's just what you get
You got to go the distance

If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight

You never know until you've tried
It's hard to see the side you're on
Some people say I'm halfway here
Some people say I'm halfway gone

Jesus, if I had to quit tonight
I'd never know if I was wrong or right
But that's just what you get
You got to go the distance

If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight

All I want is just a good fight
Good fight
Yes, it's got to be a good fight
Good fight
