Knockout

I can't fight the feeling
The feeling is bad
My heart still reeling
Over love it once had
Can't stop the aching
From my gut to my brains
I can't fight the feeling
Is this love once again

When I was younger
I would fight anyone
Who said they were stronger
Than my pen with their guns
I used to wander
Between hope and despair
I'd look out yonder
And no one would be there

I can't fight the feeling
I guess I never have
I should be kneeling
Thanking God, feeling glad
Can't stop the aching
In my guts, in my brains
I can't fight the feeling
Is it love or is it pain

A quarter century
Since we started this trip
The local gentry
Always predicted we'd slip
And they were so right
When you and I were so wrong
A quarter century
That's a very long song

I can't fight the feeling
Although it comes and it goes
Falls from the ceiling
Plants itself and it grows
Can't stop the aching
In my guts and my brains
I can't fight the feeling
It's only love if it rains
