I only got a couple of shirts But I make it work They're tried and they're true They'll bend til they're blue Stay with me when I've been a jerk I only know a couple of songs But they're with me all along When everything was spinning They came into vision Like a hammer hit a gong [Chorus:] It takes a time or two It takes going to Then you take it Before it takes you I only make a few hundred dollars From week to week I try to save a buck I know it ain't much But I'm standing on my own two feet
I only know a couple of people In the whole wide world That I can call a friend up until the end It ain't about chasing a girl [Chorus] I only said "I love you" and meant it A couple of times Not because I don't feel it or because it ain't real It's more than just a pretty word that rhymes I only know a couple of phrases To live by "Facts ain't feelings" "Floors ain't ceilings" "You can't take nothing to the by-and-by" [Chorus]
