Give It All You Got Lyrics

Arlo Guthrie Give It All You Got

by Steve and Carol Ide

Let's not sit here, talk about it baby
It's got to start in your heart or else it'll pass on by
It's what pleases you when your love seems new
That puts the light back in your eyes
You got what it takes, and I know it make it through

CHORUS:
You've got to give it all that you got
Honey that's the thing to do
You've got to give it your best shot
Even when the world's closing' in on you

It's not an easy life we're livin'
But in the end if it's love you're givin'
Don't be afraid, don't give it up
Give it all you got

There's people around who are standin' right by your side
Walkin' hand in hand, they could follow you up to the sky
But if you leave 'em alone, they'll be on their own
And then there'll be reason to try,
What's the use payin' dues when you got no reason why

CHORUS

What do you do when there's so much in you
You can't feel the road that you're on
Say what needs to be said, get it all out your head
And you're back on the road before long

CHORUS
