Lyrics
Good Flight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 teh complexities
Their good at picking all the faults
So I keep laughing so they don't pick me
But 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've got to go the distance
If you want to fight the good fight
Good fight
The telephone begins to ring
That could only be one call
I might as well be on the moon
Standing in a shower stall
I can't beleive she picked it up
She didn't know the rules somehow
I softly hear her say hello
Panic in the grey room now
But Jesus if I had to quit tonight
She'd kill me whether I was wrong or right
But that's just what you get
You've got to know the difference
If you want to fight the good fight
Good fight
You never know until you try
It's hard to see which side you're on
Some peopel say I'm halfway here
While some peopel 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've 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
