Take What You Need

Take my hand sweet darlin'

Wipe that smile off your face

I don't love anyone but you

No one can take your place

But sometimes I worry darlin'

The way you seem to hog my love.

Just take what you need

Don't empty out the store

Just take what you need

'Cause I ain't got much more.

Took a stroll in the country

Some peace of mind to find

Wire fences everywhere

No place to rest my mind

Seems like a shame to me

The way some people hog the land.

Just take what you need

Don't empty out the store

Just take what you need

'Cause I ain't got much more.

Took a look in the paper

While tryin' to eat a bite

You know I read the evenin' news

And lost my appetite

Some have the nerve to ask

For more respect from you and me.

Just take what you need

Don't empty out the store

Just take what you need

'Cause I ain't got much more.
