[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus]
If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight
[Verse 5]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus]
If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight
[Outro]
All I want is just a good fight
Good fight
Yes, it's got to be a good fight
Good fight
