Dashboard Confessional - Tonight I'll Take What I Can Get (Band) Lyrics
I've got my eye on top shelf liquor,With taste so smooth itHits you quicker.But you've only got the well.And I've got an eye for top tier womenWith 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 musicianWith strange ideas and grand ambitions,But this guy, he's got trouble with chords.And I'd like to leave this game a winnerHead held high, the luck of beginnersBut 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 loadedAnd Lord I am tooI might be losing but I'm leaving soon.With the prettiest girlTo enter this dump,She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rumAnd tonight I'll take what I can getTonight I'll take what I can getI've got my sights on brand new beginningsBrand new starts make saints of sinnersBut I'm doomed to live in my pastLive ***** girls says the sign out front,But old dead dreams are dancing in front,Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck,Buyin' love for cashWell tonight I'll take what I can get.This old story gets stale and dry,No matter how I try and tryTo spin this fableFresh and newYou strung me alongLike a tease on prom nightGetting me loose butLeaving me uptightPlease tell me thatSome of that love was true.Tonight I'll take what I can get -a
