Song Lyrics

By: Jimmy Buffett, J.D. Souther
1980
To Muhammed Ali for twenty years of excitement and entertainment
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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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
