Dashboard Confessional Tonight I`ll Take What I Can Get Lyrics

Tonight I`ll Take What I Can Get Lyrics

I've got my eye on top shelf liquor, 

With taste so smooth it 

Hits you quicker. 

But you've only got the well. 



And I've got an eye for top tier women 

With legs so long they go straight to heaven, 

But this old bunch looks like hell. 



But tonight I'll take what I can get. 



I'd like to hear a great musician 

With strange ideas and grand ambition, 

But this guy, he's got trouble with chords. 



And I'd like to leave this game a winner 

Head held high, the luck of beginners 

But this old losers crawling out on all fours. 



But tonight I'll take what I can get. 



Well this drink will do, 

And girl you look all right, 

And this band is playing like hell tonight. 



These dice are loaded 

And man I am too 

I might be losing but I'm leaving soon. 



With the prettiest girl 

To enter this dump, 

She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum 

And tonight I'll take what I can get 



I've got my sights on brand new beginnings 

Brand new starts make saints of sinners 

But I'm doomed to live in my past 



Live nude girls says the sign out front, 

But old dead dreams are dancing in front, 

Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck, 

Selling love for cash 



Well tonight I'll take what I can get. 



This old story gets stale and dry, 

No matter how I try and try 

To spin this fable 

Fresh and new 



You strung me along 

Like a tease on prom night 

Getting me loose but 

Leaving me uptight 

Please tell me that 

Some of that love was true. 



Tonight I'll take what I can get 



Well this drink will do, 

And girl you look all right, 

And this band is playing like hell tonight. 



These dice are loaded 

And man I am too 

I might be losing but I'm leaving soon. 



With the prettiest girl 

To enter this dump, 

She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum 

And tonight I'll take what I can get.
