Fightin' For My Life Lyrics - Ely Joe

I'm ridin through the middle of some god forsaken town 

Dark figures from the shadows, theyre tryin to cut me down 

Some hero of the hour needs a rival of some kind 

So dont 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 cant wait 

Dont 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 got a feelin Im fightin for my life 

Some street gang in the alley is tryin to tan my hide 

I give aem all my money but theyre still not satisfied 

Theyre callin out some names but it dont reflect on you 

So dont bother me Im tryin to makeem 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 cant wait 

Dont let your love turn to hate 

I got nothin in the world against you babe 

Its gonna be a rough night out tonight 

I know the kung fu and Im 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, theyre 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 cant wait 

Dont let your love turn to hate 

I got nothin in the world against you babe 

Its gonna be a rough night out tonight 

I better meditate you know Im 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 

It might seem a little strange to you 

But babe I got some things to do 

Things for me that just cant wait 

Dont let your love turn to hate 

I got nothin in the world against you babe 

Its gonna be a rough night out tonight 

I better meditate you know Im fightin for my life 

My eyes are open, Im fightin for my life
