Joe Firstman – Fight Song! lyrics

I been goin' through life with my fists up
Keep a bottle around the house I tend to drink from
And a baseball bat beside my bed at night
If only I could let myself love someone

For a while there I wasn't breathing so well
Can you hear me? If you need me to sing louder I will
Feel like I've been asleep behind life's wheel
While my heart's been sinkin' to the bottom of the well

Been takin' a slow walk through the fast life
Gettin' nowhere 'til it's show time
So I said "rah rah rah rah rah
I'm gonna give 'em hell tonight"

Busted my wrist in a fist fight last night
Should have punched more squarely, held my hand more tight
I convinced myself I wasn't wrong, but I knew I wasn't right
Sometimes you gotta step right outside of that bar room

I threw 100 punches, got this big black eye
I got banned from Indiana, felt like I was gonna die
So I screamed "rah rah rah rah rah"
You should have seen the other guy

Woke up on a couch in a house I'd never been
Still had all my same clothes from last night, must have passed out in 'em
Smelled the tequila burnin', pourin' out from under my skin
Dreamed about all the trouble I'd been gettin' in
It was a fuckin' repeat

You know the same one about all my teeth fallin' out
So I scared myself awake to find them safely in my mouth
And I said, "rah rah rah rah rah rah rah rah rah"
