Lyrics Arlo Guthrie

Arlo Guthrie

Give It All You Got

Let's not sit here, talk about it baby

It's got to start in your heart or else it'll pass on by

It's what pleases you when your love seems new

That puts the light back in your eyes

You got what it takes, and I know it make it through

You've got to give it all that you got

Honey that's the thing to do

You've got to give it your best shot

Even when the world's closing' in on you

It's not an easy life we're livin'

But in the end if it's love you're givin'

Don't be afraid, don't give it up

Give it all you got

There's people around who are standin' right by your side

Walkin' hand in hand, they could follow you up to the sky

But if you leave 'em alone, they'll be on their own

And then there'll be reason to try,

What's the use payin' dues when you got no reason why

What do you do when there's so much in you

You can't feel the road that you're on

Say what needs to be said, get it all out your head

And you're back on the road before long

[CHORUS]
