TAKE SOME AND GIVE SOME (AND LEAVE SOME BEHIND) 
(Barry DeVorzon)


Doyle Holly - 1972


 

One more road I wanna go down, one more rodeo
One more place that I haven't been where I always wanted to go
Well I ain't got a nickel in my old blue jeans
But I got a trouble free mind
'Cause I take some and I give some and I leave some behind

One more dance and one more girl, one more pretty smile
One more drink with a good old friend that I haven't seen for awhile
If you wake in the morning and find me gone
Don't think I've been unkind
'Cause I take some and I give some and I leave some behind

I'm ridin' high and I don't pay no dues
I know I don't have much, but I don't have much to lose

And there's one more beer and one more fight, one more county fair
One more place that I wanna see just to say that I've been there
Well I ain't gonna settle for a long, long time
'Cause I ain't the settlin' kind
I just take some and I give some and I leave some behind
I just take some and I give some and I leave some behind
I just take some and I give some and I leave some behind
I just take some..................FADE
