The Fight
(Estrada)
He wakes up by the light of the moon ’cause he doesn’t sleep at night.
Grabs his hat, and pets the dog; pulls his boots on tight.
He’s worn a path back n forth through the Californ-i-a
To the arena where he feels home, and the beast knows his name
CHORUS:
Move left, dive right
try to keep your hat, son
he’s got you in his sights
Ain’t that just like life
when beast comes for you
it’s all about
The Fight Swirling dust surrounds him waiting for his fate.
The prayers and the practice just might keep him safe
Getting by, with your life, is the only win
There ain’t much time for thinkin’ when the beast comes stormin’ in
[repeat chorus]
Mama ain’t that crazy ‘bout all the things he’s done
It’s hard to see a good man down when he’s your only son.
But he don’t worry about the pain or the shape he’ll wind up in
The only thing that matters is to do it once again
[repeat chorus]
