Give Me a Lot

Songtext

[Verse 1] The only way I could do that Was if you handed me a mountain A list of things stacked ten feet high And one small hour to count in I tied my sleeves above my hands Put coffee by the doorway If there was work left on the floor I’d find a way to stay [Pre-Chorus] You say it’s too much, I say bring it on I’ve been learning how to carry on [Chorus] Give me a lot, I’ll give you more I’ll come back stronger than before If I can earn another day I’ll turn the hours into pay A little time, a bigger chance I’ll build it with these working hands Give me a lot, I’ll give you more Then go back and do the work once more [Verse 2] If I had more time to get the job I’d make the rough edges finer Measure twice, repair the crack Leave the whole thing standing higher And if the check grew with the load I wouldn’t waste the opening I’d put the money toward the life That all this effort’s building [Pre-Chorus] You say it’s too much, I say bring it on I’ve been learning how to carry on [Chorus] Give me a lot, I’ll give you more I’ll come back stronger than before If I can earn another day I’ll turn the hours into pay A little time, a bigger chance I’ll build it with these working hands Give me a lot, I’ll give you more Then go back and do the work once more [Bridge] No shortcut, no borrowed name Just one more step and one more day When the finish line moves away I move with it, I’m here to stay [Final Chorus] Give me a lot, I’ll give you more I’ll come back stronger than before If I can earn another day I’ll turn the hours into pay A little time, a bigger chance I’ll build it with these working hands Give me a lot, I’ll give you more Then go back and do the work once more [Outro] Go back and do the work once more Give me a lot, I’ll give you more
