use what i got

i'm gonna use what i got

to get what i need

i'm gonna use what i got

use all i got

to get what i need

yeah

look

i was born in a little old shack

didn't have enough to eat

not enough clothes on my back

lord knows i kept the faith

a heart full of woe

now they're trying to get me

at the end of my road

use what i got

to get what i need

i'm gonna use what i got

use all i got

to get what i need

yeah

the rich is content

while the poor do without

if you ask for some herb

they don't know what you're talking about

all say they answer

as if they're on the wind

it changes sometimes

that why i'm afraid i've gotta

use what i got

to get what i need

i'm gonna use what i got

use all i got

to get what i need

yeah

the road of life is mighty steep

when you're broke

busted and disgusted

for you ain't got nowhere to sleep

i'm gonna find me a woman to stand by my side

'cause i'm so tired of running

can't find no place to hide

i'm gonna use what i got

to get what i need

i'm gonna use what i got

use all i got

to get what i need

yeah

use what i got

you know that i got to

use what i got

said i've got to

use what i got

you gotta use it

use what i got

use it all up now

use what i got

yes i have

use what i got

i've got to

got to

use what i got

said i got to

use what i got

use what i got
