Fightin' For My Life |
I’m ridin through the middle of some god forsaken town |
Dark figures from the shadows, theyre tryin to cut me down |
Some hero of the hour needs a rival of some kind |
So dont talk to me right now, I’ve got survival on my mind |
It might seem a little strange to you |
But babe I got some things to do |
Things for me that just can’t wait |
Dont let your love turn to hate |
I got nothin in the world against you babe |
But its gonna be a rough night out tonight |
I got a feelin Im fightin for my life |
Some street gang in the alley is tryin to tan my hide |
I give aem all my money but theyre still not satisfied |
Theyre callin out some names but it dont reflect on you |
So dont bother me Im tryin to makeem see my point of view |
It might seem a little strange to you |
But babe I got some things to do |
Things for me that just can’t wait |
Dont let your love turn to hate |
I got nothin in the world against you babe |
Its gonna be a rough night out tonight |
I know the kung fu and Im fightin for my life |
They say those silly phantoms are only in your mind |
But I swear that even some of them get out from time to time |
Some are rough and some are rowdy, some are fast to make the scene |
But the ones that move so slow, theyre the ones that treat you mean |
It might seem a little strange to you |
But babe I got some things to do |
Things for me that just can’t wait |
Dont let your love turn to hate |
I got nothin in the world against you babe |
Its gonna be a rough night out tonight |
I better meditate you know Im fightin for my life |
I used to read the Bible and Paradise Lost |
Now it looks like everybodys been gettin double-crossed |
I dont mean to crash the cymbals, I dont mean to beat the drum |
I dont wanna waste your time, you know Id rather save you some |
It might seem a little strange to you |
But babe I got some things to do |
Things for me that just can’t wait |
Dont let your love turn to hate |
I got nothin in the world against you babe |
Its gonna be a rough night out tonight |
I better meditate you know Im fightin for my life |
My eyes are open, Im fightin for my life |
