Jimmy Buffett - The Good Fight lyrics

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 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

Chorus:

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

That could only be one call

I might as well be on the moon

Standin' in the shower stall

Can't believe she picked it up

She didn't 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

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 try

It's hard to see the side you're on

Some people say I'm halfway here

Some people say I'm halfway gone

Chorus:

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
