[Verse 1]
Leaving the monsters behind
Sticking it out
Never knowing what you got
Bury me down by the river lazy
Kicking around
All the old favorite haunts

[Chorus]
I don't wanna fight
(Don't wanna fight)
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't wanna fight
Seems there's no place to hide

[Verse 2]
One step ahead of the hustle
If I move fast
Maybe I'll outrun my past
With a little spit and some muscle
Like Steve McQueen
Tearing down the San Francisco streets

[Chorus]
I don't wanna fight
(Don't wanna fight)
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't wanna fight
Seems there's no place to hide
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Hearing the brakes down on the interstate
Diesel fumes
And run-down motel rooms
Moccasin soft, drawing straws
Sleeping it off in the Starbucks parking lot

[Chorus]
I don't wanna fight
(Don't wanna fight)
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't wanna fight
(Don't wanna fight)
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't wanna fight
(Don't wanna fight)
(Giving it up)
(Screaming at midnight)
(And I don't wanna fight)
(Don't wanna fight)
(Giving it up)
(Screaming at midnight)
