Tonight I'll Take What Can Get

I've got my eye on top shelf liquor With taste so smooth it hits you quicker But you've only got the well And I've got an eye for top tier women With legs so long they go straight to heaven But this old bunch looks like hell But tonight I'll take what I can get I'd like to hear a great musician With strange ideas and grand ambition But this guy, he's got trouble with chords And I'd like to leave this game a winner Head held high, the luck of beginners But this old losers crawling out on all fours But tonight I'll take what I can get Well, this drink will do and, girl, you look alright And this band is playing like hell tonight These dice are loaded and, man, I am too I might be losing but I'm leaving soon With the prettiest girl to enter this dump She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum And tonight I'll take what I can get I've got my sights on brand new beginnings Brand new starts make saints of sinners But I'm doomed to live in my past Live nude girls says the sign out front But old dead dreams are dancing in front Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck Selling love for cash Well tonight I'll take what I can get This old story gets stale and dry No matter how I try and try To spin this fable, fresh and new You strung me along like a tease on prom night Getting me loose but leaving me uptight Please tell me that some of that love was true Tonight I'll take what I can get Well, this drink will do and, girl, you look alright And this band is playing like hell tonight These dice are loaded and, man, I am too I might be losing but I'm leaving soon With the prettiest girl to enter this dump She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum And tonight I'll take what I can get
