Joe Ely-Fightin' For My Life
Album-Streets Of Sin

E                                   A            B
I'm ridin through the middle of some god forsaken town
B                                               E
Dark figures from the shadows they're tryin to cut me down
E                                 A            B
Some hero of the hour needs a rival of some kind
B                                                E
So dont talk to me right now I've got survival on my mind

Chorus:
A
It might seem a little strange to you
E
But babe I got some things to do
B
Things for me that just cant wait
E
Dont let your love turn to hate
A
I got nothin in the world against you babe
E
But its gonna be a rough night out tonight
B                               E
I got a feelin I'm fightin for my life

Some street gang in the alley is tryin to tan my hide
I give'm all my money but they're still not satisfied
Theyre callin out some names but it dont reflect on you
So don't bother me Im tryin to makeem see my point of view

Chorus:
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 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

Chorus:
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 better meditate you know I'm 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

Chorus:
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
My eyes are open I'm fightin for my life
