Willy McGee - In It For Myself Lyrics

I take a waltz
Gutters and streets
Anything is better than having our eyes meet
You're not yourself
I'm fighting a stranger
But leaving her alone
Puts herself in danger
But I'm not in for myself
And if I'm not in it for you
If I'm not in for you
Then I don't know what to do
So I shuffle on back
Knock on the door
She's not the same woman that I loved before
She comes and goes
The lost highway
Turns someone else
At the end of the day
But I'm not in for myself
If I'm not in it for you
If I'm not in it for you
Then I tell you what I'd do
I'd go from bar to bar to bar
Getting far by thumb or car
Shot by shot
Beer by beer
I'm getting further from seeing it clear
Because I'm in it for myself
I'm not in it for you
If I'm not in for you
Then I tell you what I'd do
I go from town to town to town
Drinking with all the drunks around
I sing these songs
He sings these songs
I sing them all, all night long
I gotta be in it for myself
I gotta be in it for you
When I'm in it for you
Then I'd tell the truth
I'd kiss you all night
Rub your feet
I'd hold you tight
I'd bend the knee
Are you in it for yourself
Are you in it for me

I take a waltz
Gutters and streets
Anything is better than having our eyes meet
You're not yourself
I'm fighting a stranger
But leaving her alone
Puts herself in danger
But I'm not in for myself
And if I'm not in it for you
If I'm not in for you
Then I don't know what to do
So I shuffle on back
Knock on the door
She's not the same woman that I loved before
She comes and goes
The lost highway
Turns someone else
At the end of the day
But I'm not in for myself
If I'm not in it for you
If I'm not in it for you
Then I tell you what I'd do
I'd go from bar to bar to bar
Getting far by thumb or car
Shot by shot
Beer by beer
I'm getting further from seeing it clear
Because I'm in it for myself
I'm not in it for you
If I'm not in for you
Then I tell you what I'd do
I go from town to town to town
Drinking with all the drunks around
I sing these songs
He sings these songs
I sing them all, all night long
I gotta be in it for myself
I gotta be in it for you
When I'm in it for you
Then I'd tell the truth
I'd kiss you all night
Rub your feet
I'd hold you tight
I'd bend the knee
Are you in it for yourself
Are you in it for me
