| Written:Jimmy Buffett/J.D.Souther | |
| To Muhammed Ali for twenty years of excitement and entertainment | |
| 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 the complexities | |
| They're good at pickin' all the faults | |
| I keep laughin' so they don't pick me | |
| Chorus: | |
| 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 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 | |
| The telephone begins to ring | |
| That could only be one call | |
| I might as well be on the moon | |
| Standin' in the shower stall | |
| Can't believe she picked it up | |
| She didn't know the rules somehow | |
| Then I hear her say hello (hello) | |
| Panic in the grey room now | |
| Chorus: | |
| Jesus if I had to quit tonight | |
| She'd kill me whether I was wrong or right | |
| That's just what you get | |
| You 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 | |
| You never know until you try | |
| It's hard to see the side you're on | |
| Some people say I'm halfway here | |
| Some people say I'm halfway gone | |
| Chorus: | |
| 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 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 | |
| All I want is just a good fight | |
| Good fight | |
| Yes it's got to be a good fight | |
| Good fight | |
