give my heart to you

i gave two teeth in a teenage brawl

for a girl whose name i can't recall

then we broke up

i gave a knee to the football team

chasing that high school state champ dream

we almost won

i gave junior college almost a year

then i gave a greyhound twenty bucks and that's how i got here

i give all my money for a slice of daily bread

i give forty honest hours to a boss i never met

and i gave my soul to jesus at the age of twenty-two

so there ain't much left to offer but i give my heart to you

i gave a beard and a head of hair

to a boot camp corporal with a barber's chair

at camp le jeune

i gave uncle sam what he bargained for

twenty-four months not a minute more

i just didn't fit in

then i gave a high school friend of mine a call

and we gave a body shop a try till we gave up last fall

i give all my money. and i gave my soul to jesus at the age of twenty-two

so there ain't much left to offer but i give my heart to you
