The Good Fight — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

By: jimmy buffett, j.d. souther

1980

To muhammed ali for twenty years of excitement and entertainment

They talk about their women too much

The women got em so confused

They dont 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

Theyre good at pickin all the faults

I keep laughin so they dont pick me



Chorus:

Jesus if I had to quit tonight

Id never know if I was wrong or right

But thats 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

That could only be one call

I might as well be on the moon

Standin in the shower stall



Cant believe she picked it up

She didnt know the rules somehow

Then I hear her say hello (hello)

Panic in the grey room now



Chorus:

Jesus if I had to quit tonight

Shed kill me whether I was wrong or right

Thats 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 try

Its hard to see the side youre on

Some people say Im halfway here

Some people say Im halfway gone



Chorus:

Jesus if I had to quit tonight

Id never know if I was wrong or right

But thats 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 its got to be a good fight

Good fight
