Tonight I'll Take What I 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 all right

And this band is playing like hell tonight

These dice are loaded

And Lord 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

Buying 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 all right

And this band is playing like hell tonight

These dice are loaded

And Lord 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
