Well I only got a couple of shirts But I make it work They're tried and true They've been through the blues Stayed with me when I've been a jerk Yeah I only know a couple of songs But they've been there all along When everything was spinning They came into vision Like a hammer hitting a gong It takes a time or two It takes a-going through Then you take it Before it takes you Well I only make a few hundred dollar From week to week I try to save a buck I know it ain't much But I'm standing on my own two feet Well I only know a couple of people In the whole wide world That I can call a friend Up until the end It ain't about chasin' the girls It takes a time or two It takes a-going through Then you take it Before it takes you Well I've only said "I love you" and meant it A couple of times Not because I don't feel it Or because it ain't real It's more than just a pretty word that rhymes Well I only know a couple of phrases To live by Facts ain't feelings Floors ain't ceilings You can't take nothin' to the by and by It takes a time or two It takes a-going through Then you take it Before it takes you Yeah it takes a time or two It takes a-going through Then you take it
