Take It

I only got a couple of shirts
But I make it work
They’re tried and they’re true
They’ll bend til they’re blue
Stay with me when I’ve been a jerk
I only know a couple of songs
But they’re with me all along
When everything was spinning
They came into vision
Like a hammer hit a gong
It takes a time or two
It takes going to
Then you take it
Before it takes you
I only make a few hundred dollars
From week to week
I try to save a buck
I know it ain’t much
But I’m standing on my own two feet
I only know a couple of people
In the whole wide world
That I can call a friend up until the end
It ain’t about chasing a girl
I only said «I love you» and meant it
A couple of times
Not because I don’t feel it or because it ain’t real
It’s more than just a pretty word that rhymes
I only know a couple of phrases
To live by
«Facts ain’t feelings»
«Floors ain’t ceilings»
«You can’t take nothing to the by-and-by»
