like the mighty joe louis

written by brad layher

here i am, i am scared and i'm lonely, confused again,
here i am, as i look to the left and the right,
i've lost my way home to you again,

cause you said you'd call out my name,
but i don't here you callin'...

so i'll turn my head, with my eyes to the west,
as the sun, sets down to sleep,
and i'll shout out loud, with my face to the wind,
my arms, gather your breeze,
and feel you, shine on me.

oh good god, sometimes i think i'm half the man, i used to be,
oh good god, sometimes the other half just shows up
and starts bossin' me around, i wish he would leave,

so i might, tuck my tail,
and run away, from me again, or maybe...

i'll fight myself like the mighty joe louis,
and we'll hammer it out, ten rounds tonight,
and the last man standing was the better man to do it,
but he's not the better man, he's just the better fight.

1st chorus again

i'll fight myself like the mighty joe louis,

i'll fight myself like the mighty joe louis,
and we'll hammer it out, ten rounds tonight.
