"Tonight I'll Take What I Can Get" by Dashboard Confessional

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 

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 scoring 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.
