Don't Take It All

Don’t Take It All

I'm sure you've picked your destination

You've got friends along the way

They'll leave the light on and they’ve told you

“...stay as long as you need to stay”

That old car bought we bought together

Is loaded down with our memories

And there’s a redhead sleeping in the seat

Looks just like me



Never seen me beg before

I’ve always been above it

Now I’m down here on the floor

Don't it break your heart to see a blind man crawl

Honey, don't take it all



My sins ain’t nothin’ like they used to be

Since I put that bottle down

Workin’ hard so you can trust me

My old friends stopped comin’ round now

You’re sayin’ it’s too late for us

You’re a broken boat too without a sail

I keep askin’ for forgiveness

and you keep hammering that nail



They say things have to fall apart

When they cannot hold together

I’m thinking this is nothing more

Than a little nasty weather

But if you leave this me way

I’m gonna fade away....



I’m sure you’ve picked your destination

And you got friends along the way

I’ll leave the light on..like I told you

Stay as long as you need to stay
