lyrics

Sometimes I fight the good fight
But try as I might
Bad guys win in the end

Sometimes I fight the good fight
But when day turns to night
Whiskey’s my only friend

Sometimes I fight the good fight
Try to follow the Light
But there’s meetings I don’t attend

Sometimes I fight the good fight
But I lack the foresight
To keep my Bible in my hand

I was raised on promises unkept
It’s like my good fortune overslept
But I read the Good Book, was reborn in a brook
So why, why, why
Why do I see the bait but not the hook

Sometimes I fight the good fight
Stay lower than a kite
I think I’m on the mend

Sometimes I fight the good fight
Try to be a delight
But down deep it’s just pretend

I was raised on promises unkept
It’s like my good fortune overslept
But I read the Good Book, was reborn in a brook
So why, why, why
Why do I see the bait but not the hook

Dm F C G
The preacher ask me if I have a repentant heart
Said if you wanna be free you need a fresh start

I was raised on promises unkept
It’s like my good fortune overslept
But I read the Good Book, was reborn in a brook
So why, why, why
Why do I see the bait but not the hook
