| Give It All I Got mama worked inside my head as she cooked and cleaned and made the beds sometimes i heard her late at night when she knelt to say her prayers that i would be a good little girl and make this place a better world if only i could have a chance at better luck than she one life, someday to break the mold that momma made one heart for the world to grind into dust she watched the late show every night she could not sleep, she was not right imagination took her to where daddy used to be he left her waiting at the door the lonely woman walks the floor he broke her heart, he broke the trust then momma went away if it's bad luck she believed in then i won't be what i'm not i'm gonna strap this old world on my back and give it all i've got there've been times with you and me i feel the pain, i feel the need i see my daddy in your eyes and i know what momma meant i'm workin' hard to do my best to make my spirit pass the test only time will fill this pit that momma left in me Written by Paul
