I've  got my eye on top  shelf liquor,
 With taste  so smooth it
 Hits you quicker.
 But you've  only got  the well.
 And I've  got an eye for top  tier women
 With legs  so long they go straight to heaven,
 But this  old bunch looks  like hell.
 But tonight I'll take what I can get.
I'd  like to hear a great  musician
 With strange  ideas and grand ambition,
 But this  guy, he's got trouble  with chords.
 And I'd  like to leave this  game a winner
Head  held high, the luck of beginners
 But this  old losers crawling  out on all  fours.
 But tonight I'll take what I can get.
 Well this  drink will do,
 And girl  you look all right,
 And this  band is playing like hell  tonight.
These  dice are loaded
 And Lord  I am too
I  might be losing but I'm leaving  soon.
 With the prettiest  girl
 To enter  this dump,
 She drank all  of the whiskey but she left  me the rum
 And tonight  I'll take  what I can get
I've  got my sights on brand  new beginnings
Brand  new starts make saints of sinners
But  I'm doomed to live  in my past
Live  nude girls says the sign  out front,
 But old  dead dreams are dancing in front,
 Of old  dead dreamers with washed  up luck,
 Buying love  for cash
 Well tonight I'll take what I can get.
This  old story gets stale  and dry,
 No matter  how I try and try to
Spin  this fable fresh  and new
You  strung me along
 Like a tease  on prom night
Getting  me loose but leaving me uptight
Please  tell me that
Some  of that love was true.
Tonight I'll take what I can get
Well  this drink will do,
 And girl  you look all right,
 And this  band is playing like hell  tonight.
These  dice are loaded
 And Lord  I am too
I  might be losing but I'm leaving  soon.
 With the prettiest  girl
 To enter  this dump,
 She drank all  of the whiskey but she left  me the rum
 And tonight  I'll take  what I can get.
