Put down that two pack habit yesterday
Threw that show glass just to watch it break
My whiskey bottle turned upside down in the drain
Those wild women that's a whole another thing
I give up everything, baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues
Went on a diet, yeah I'm eating good
Gave up the things you said I should
Fit as a fiddle girl I lost ten pounds
So why am I so damn down?
I give up everything, baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues
Put out the reefer, no more getting stoned
Trade in my fast car for a motor home
Took all my demons, put 'em in a sack
How come I still feel there's a monkey on my back
I give up everything, baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues
I had the good life in the days I was king
Ain't nothing left now but the same old blues I sing
Gave up everything, baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues
