Lyrics and translation
Original
Yeah, I've been sittin' around, playin' them Haggard sounds.
Runnin' them memories up, take me back to a square body truck.
All my buddies all circled around in an old city parking lot. And we thought we had it all.
We didn't have a lot. Yeah. Then out of the blue, baby, there was you.
I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. Everybody wanted a chance.
Everybody wanted a dance.
But when you see your whole world, you'll fight for a girl.
Under flickerin' lights, out on a Friday night.
When you got one like mine, you'll fight for a girl.
Yeah, you'll fight for a girl.
Maybe it's a redneck thing. Maybe that's just how I see.
Girl, if they're lookin' at you, hell yeah, they're messin' with me.
I don't mind throwin' a few hands when push comes to shove.
A real man, he'll fight for the woman he loves. Like out of the blue, baby, there was you.
I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. Everybody wanted a chance.
Everybody wanted a dance.
But when you see your whole world, hell yeah, you'll fight for a girl. Under flickerin' lights, out on a Friday night.
When you got one like mine, you'll fight for a girl.
Yeah, you'll fight for a girl.
Some girls are forever. Some girls ain't the one.
Some girls make you do some things you never done. Like out of the blue, baby, there was you.
I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. Everybody wanted a chance.
Everybody wanted a dance.
But when you see your whole world, hell yeah, you'll fight for a girl. Under flickerin' lights, out on a Friday night.
When you got one like mine, hell yeah, you'll fight for a girl.
Yeah, you'll fight for a girl.
