Give It Up

my time it came it went
on loan from god the time i spent
believed the b.s. of live your dream
best part of my life swimming up stream

want off this ride
go back to Maine
where ambitions
all look the same

just look at you content to sit
count your blessings live in a tent
count your fingers and your toes
breath the air your life it goes

mine’s been gift rapped
it’s been sold
misunderstood
am i too old

can’t give up, can’t give in
can’t give it out it’s from within
can’t give it back, give it away
my own creation my hell to pay

my back is burnt from facing fears
voices in my head have another beer

cross my fingers
cross my toes
say my prayers
my life it goes
