Ely Joe Fightin` For My Life Lyrics

Fightin` For My Life Lyrics

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 cant 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 cant 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 cant 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 cant 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
