Giving It All Away

I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes,
I got up and walked away.
Oh, I was just a boy,
I didn't no how to play.
Worked hard and failed
now all I can say is
I threw it all away.
Oh, I was just a boy
giving it all away...
sail away, sail away,
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
giving it all away
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
I've given it all away...
Went out in the world too much for my nerves
only myself to blame.
oh, I was just a boy
nobody else to blame...
I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands
stand on my head and say
oh, I was just a boy
giving it all away...
sail away, sail away,
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
giving it all away
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
given it all away...
