Come Out Fighting - John Parr

Introducing, from Brockton, Massachusetts

Heavy weight, captain of the wild, Rocky Marciano"

I was on the road to nowhere, just these six strings to my name

On the run from one more one-night stand, seekin' pleasure in the pain

Shinin' like a diamond in the sand, you made me understand

I hear you saying, over and over

Chorus:

When you know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'

Just like a ragin' bull, like a bolt of lightnin'

Like a fire brigade, with the flames ignitin'

Life is rough but it’s sure excitin'

You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'

I built walls to hide my feelin’s, just another good-time boy

Never carin' what I said or done, breakin' hearts like they were toys

No, never goin' back to where I was, baby that’s because

I hear you sayin', over and over, sayin' over and over

(chorus)

(Solo)

(Like the fire brigade) Burnin' down down the highway to you

(Like the fire brigade) You know it’s true

(Like the fire brigade) Like a fire brigade

(Like the fire brigade)

You know what you want, you know what you need

You know what you want, you know what you need

You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'

Just like a ragin' bull, like a bolt of lightnin'

Like a tidal wave, when the surf is rising

You wipe out but you’re back there riding

You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'

You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'

Just like a ragin' bull, like a bolt of lightnin'

You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'

Life is rough but it’s sure excitin'

You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin'

You gotta come out fightin', you gotta come out fightin'

You know what you want, you gotta come out fightin' (repeats out)

Like a ragin' bull…
