Richard Barone - I Only Took What I Needed lyrics

I took a chance I took a train to heaven I found some freedom there I rolled the dice I threw a lucky seven I only took my share I travelled light I carried next to nothing Enough to get me there I played the part In my imagination Was I a fool to care? I only took what I needed Only took what I needed I only took what I needed Only took what I needed Took my guitar Change that was in my pocket I went from town to town Where life was cheap Love went for next to nothing Caught with my trousers down I only took what I needed Only took what I needed I only took what I needed Only took what I needed I've been a master and a slave But I never took more than I gave I found a face I had a fascination You let me rule your world I had a job I had a reputation Until the flags unfurled Then in a flash In my imagination I felt the chains dig in I packed my bags Turned in my resignation Got on the train again I only took what I needed Only took what I needed I only took what I needed Only took what I needed I only took what I needed I only took what I needed
