Could I have given more?
Could I have given more?
Could I have given more?
yes indeedio
today I found your door
and my feet are sore
can I lay down on your floor
it's all I needio
My wife and kids alone
my wife and kids alone
my wife and kids alone
while I raised hellio
politicians and bankers require
their hand held to the fire
gotta get out in the mire
so I'd leave home-io
Found my people on the road
found my people on the road
found my people on the road
some nights I'd cry-eo
just like a family man
still doing all I can
'cept I'm roaming 'round the land
but still alone-io
My kids they look at me
my kids they look at me
my kids they look at me
what do they see-io?
an old man falling down
or the fully grown clown
wearing this thorny crown
was it worth it-o?
They say love can find a way
they say love can find a way
they say love can find a way
rise up to the star-io
I sure hope that's true
don't know what I'd do
with no one to share my stew
up here in heaven-io
Could I have given more?
Could I have given more?
Could I have given more?
yes indeedio
today I found your door
and my feet are sore
can I lay down on your floor
it's all I needio
