about

This song reflects how I feel about pursuing my careers both in art and music. I'm just going to keep fighting the good fight. Not gonna give up. Nope. Never - never - ever... until I keel over!

lyrics

I tend to want what I can’t have
Or else I don’t know what I want
I wish that I could just make up my mind
When I order in a restaurant
I tend to get myself in strange situations
and then I do things that I later regret
I wonder sometimes if I’ll ever succeed here
to get out of emotional debt.

But I’m fighting the dood fight
Yeah I'm fightin' the good fight in my head
I'm fighting the good fight
Gonna keep on fighting the good fight till the end

I tend to worry about where I’m heading
Or else I ponder upon where I’ve been
I wonder sometimes what I’d do different here
If I were a congress woman
I tend to worry about our planet
You know I think of her as my old friend
I wish that we could all just get it together here
but I know everything good thing must end.

But I’m fighting the Good fight…

This voice inside my head – it tells me I’m no good
It tells me to give up. You know I’d give up if I could
This voice inside my head it says I’ve already lost the race
It tells me I’m too old to keep up a steady pace
But I won’t give up the race – no I won’t give up the race…

Cuz I'm fighting the good fight...

Now, I don’t believe in the devil - but I do believe that evil exists
And I’d rather walk in the light of day than in the darkness shaking my first. And I have a code that I live by. It says what goes around comes back around. Treat others how you’d like to be treated. And what was lost once will be found.

And keep fightin’ the good fight…
