The one I love don`t want me hanging round
All she does is put me on and put me down
Tonight she`s with a stranger at a party in her home
And I`m here at a tavern gettin` stoned
Cause if I gotta go I`ll go down swinging
Where there`s lights and laughter booze and blonds and a lots of sad sad singing
I`ll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know
At least I`ll go down swinging what a swinging way to go
[ steel ]
I`ll dance with all the girls and buy the wine
Play the jukebox till I`m down to my last dime
She thinks she made a fool of me by loving someone else
She should see me make a fool out of myself
Cause if I gotta go...
