The Honeycutters - All I Got lyrics

I couldn't sleep in the summer heat So I went for a drive And I wound up in some diner, down a ways on 25 Pretended that I did not live here, I was just a stranger pa**ing through Just another face with out of state plates and a smokey old motel room Cause it's a shame to regret what you have not done To know that you had no good reason to run Still there ain't no shame in being young And you'll learn to love what you can't escape Like the wax on top of the birthday cake And the way that leaving always makes you want to stay If I gave a little, would you give a little? Or would you take all that I got? And if you had a little, would you save a little piece? I don't need an awful lot Every night when I lay me down to bed I pray to the lord not to strike me dead Before I get back to those ones I don't want to forget Cause I don't have the patience for anyone new It's the worn out places where the light shines through And if I'm gonna be lonely I'd rather be lonely with you
