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
