The Good Fight
Written by - Jimmy Buffett & J.D. Souther
From - Coconut Telegraph
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 

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 

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 

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
