| I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl
|
| For a girl whose name I can’t recall
|
| Then we broke up
|
| I gave a knee to the football team
|
| Chasing that high school state champ dream
|
| We almost won
|
| I gave junior college almost a year
|
| Then I gave a Greyhound twenty bucks and that’s how I got here
|
| I give all my money for a slice of daily bread
|
| I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met
|
| And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
|
| So there ain’t much left to offer but I give my heart to you
|
| I gave a beard and a head of hair
|
| To a boot camp corporal with a barber’s chair
|
| At Camp Le Jeune
|
| I gave Uncle Sam what he bargained for
|
| Twenty-four months not a minute more
|
| I just didn’t fit in
|
| Then I gave a high school friend of mine a call
|
| And we gave a body shop a try till we gave up last fall
|
| I give all my money…
|
| And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
|
| So there ain’t much left to offer but I give my heart to you |
