Fighting the Moonlight

Can I just sit a little bit longer Stare out the window and watch the sun rise. It's a long day living in the shadows hiding my face like some beaten down guy. We all got a little more life left We all got a little more time We all got a room full of sunshine Fighting the moonlight, trying to stay alive. You tell me that I'm not your problem Your car won't start Lord, it's just one more thing. The boss man says you can't work here The street is cold Tomorrow's another day. Sing, sing, nobody's listening Sing it loud, before the words get away Sing, Sing, and stare at the sunshine Fight off the moonlight, try to stay alive. We all got a little more life left We all got a little more time We all got a room full of sunshine Fighting the moonlight, trying to stay alive. He said man ain't she pretty Walking home After working at night She said, man why's he walking She pulled up close And gave him a ride. They both got a whole lot of life left They both got a whole lot of time They grew old staring at the sunshine Fighting that moonlight trying to stay alive.
