Bassfest original - Fightin' The Fight by Farrell

[Farrell Jackson]

This is my Bassfest submission. The three basses I used for this are: a Gibson EBO bass, a Vox violin bass, and A Fender Jazz bass. Also Zoom drums and my vocals

Fightin' The Fight

( V1) Some people....have such a nerve
Oblivious.... to others around
It's time to throw some curves
And leave them wearin' a frown

All I am is an honest man, Keepin' my head above the sand
It's time to take a stand, 'Cause I really do give a damn

(V2) While waiting..... in the postal line
Please hang up... your cell phone
Don't wanna....... hear about your life
You know you're not standin' here alone

You're gettin' into my space, Please take it to another place
Slow down this is not a race, It's a big disgrace

(Chr) I'll keep on fightin' the fight, Sayin' what's right
Cause sooner or later, You'll see the light

I'll keep on punchin' the bag, Haulin' the load
Cause sooner or later, You'll find the road.................

(Instrumental break)

(V3) I see you..... texting in your car
With no regard for the road
Your movin'.....in a ticking bomb
And it's gettin' ready to explode

You're gettin' into my space, Please take it to another place
Slow down this is not a race, It's a big disgrace

(Chr) I'll keep on fightin' the fight, Sayin' what's right
Cause sooner or later, You'll see the light

I'll keep on punchin' the bag, Haulin' the load
Cause sooner or later, You'll find the road
(Repeat Chorus)

Yes, who needs guitars? Very mellow sounding bass tracks! On some places I got Monochrome Set vibe. Really fine composition and arrangement, Farrell! Thumbs up!
