Lyrics
You Name It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been a saint I've been a sinner I've been a loser I've been a winner
You name it and I claim it that's me
I've been up I've been down I've been stranded many of town
Oh you name it honey I'm gonna claim it that's me
Now if there's a situation I ain't been in I wish you tell me where I failed
I've been everywhere and I've done everything includin' keepin' to a bar or a jail
I've had friends I've had most a little happiness and a whole lotta woes
Oh you name it and I'm gonna claim it that's me
[ steel - guitar ]
Now if there's a situation...
Oh yeah now you name it and I'm gonna claim but that's me yeah
