Fightin For My Life Butch Hancock 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 don't 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 Don't 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 I'm fightin for my life Some street gang in the alley is tryin to tan my hide I give em all my money but they're still not satisfied They're callin out some names but it don't reflect on you So don't bother me Im tryin to make em 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 Don't 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 I'm 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, they're 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 Don't 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 everybody's been gettin double-crossed I don't mean to crash the cymbals, I dont mean to beat the drum I don't 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 I'm fightin for my life My eyes are open, I'm fightin for my life
