Why tell you that I want you back
When I could tell it to a brick wall?
Why admit that it's getting bad
When alcohol is a fix-all?
I'm up a creek and I didn't bring my paddle
What can I do when I'm in a losing battle?

It's like fighting with God
It's like stopping a train
It's like lighting a cigarette out in the rain
Trying to fly a plane that ain't got no wings
Trying to pick a guitar that ain't got no strings
Oh, trying to get over you's only a waste of time
It's like fighting with God

I've tried throwing lassos 'round the moon
Yeah, I've pushed on mountains just tryin' to make 'em move for you

It's like fighting with God
It's like stopping a train
It's like lighting a cigarette out in the rain
Trying to fly a plane that ain't got no wings
Trying to pick a guitar that ain't got no strings
Oh, trying to get over you's only a waste of time
It's like fighting with God

Yeah, it's like fighting with God
I'm up a creek and I didn't bring my paddle
What can I do when I'm in a losing battle?

It's like fighting with God
It's like stopping a train
It's like lighting a cigarette out in the rain
Trying to fly a plane that ain't got no wings
Trying to pick a guitar that ain't got no strings
Oh, trying to get over you's only a waste of time
It's like fighting with God
Yeah, it's like fighting with God
