I'll Go Down Swinging

The one I love don't want me hangin' 'round
All she does is put me on and put me down
Tonight, she's with a stranger at a party in her home
And I'm here at the tavern, gettin' stoned

'Cause if I gotta go, I'll go down swinging
Where there's lights and laughter
Booze and blondes and lots of sad, sad singing
I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know
At least I'll go down swinging, what a swinging way to go

I'll dance with all the girls and buy the wine
Play the jukebox 'til I'm down to my last dime
She thinks she made a fool of me by loving someone else
She should see me make a fool out of myself

'Cause if I gotta go, I'll go down swingin'
Where there's lights and laughter
Booze and blondes and lots of sad, sad singing
I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know
At least I'll go down swinging, what a swinging way to go
