Ely Joe - Fightin' For My Life lyrics

I'm ridin' through the middle of some godforsaken town Dark figures from the shadows, they're 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 can't wait Don't let your love turn to hate I got nothin' in the world against you babe But it's 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, I'm 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 can't wait Don't let your love turn to hate I got nothin' in the world against you, babe It's 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 can't wait Don't let your love turn to hate I got nothin' in the world against you, babe It's gonna be a rough night out tonight I better meditate, you know I'm 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 don't mean to beat the drum I don't wanna waste your time, you know I'd 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 can't wait Don't let your love turn to hate I got nothin' in the world against you, babe It's 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
