Chuck Ragan - You Get What You Give Lyrics
Well I shake when I walk* I spit when I’m down I beat my head against the wall Like the fool that I am Catch one drop of a tear In the palm of my hand Pour the rest out in front To the ground I couldn’t stand On and on I declare On and on I debate you To cut my throat and bury me In the ditch that I belong to You showed me a sign A glimmer of light While some called it heaven Oh but I called them eyes Oh my lady I never thought that I'd survive When you hit bottom, man, it’s hard enough to climb Much less not lay down Much less stay awake And hold your head high on up and see what’s in your way If you live If you live But I followed the trail Let my instinct work For a shot in the dark We have time to flush a bird And from one special dear’s hand In the palm of my own You had to roll the dice and gamble now To never be alone On and on I declare On and on I debate you To mend this heart and pull me From the ditch that I fell into Yeah you showed me a sign You were a beacon of light While some called it heaven I called it love at first sight Oh my lady I never thought that I'd survive When you hit bottom, man, it’s hard enough to climb Much less not lay down Much less stay awake And hold your head high on up and see what’s in your way If you live If you live You get what you give If you live What is it worth To stay in the dirt To beat your head against the wall Like a fool that’s been hurt Oh what is it worth To stand your ground proud Dig your nails into that wall Climb and scream loud! Oh my lady I never thought that I'd survive When you hit bottom, man, it’s hard enough to climb Much less not lay down Much less stay awake And hold your head high on up and see what’s in your way If you live If you live
