[Lyric] Given Up (Them Coulee Boys)

Got a friend that I don’t get to see too much
Called me up and told me that he fell in love
Said he’s getting married in about 6 months
Gotta beat the baby if they can
I don’t think we’ve talked since graduation day
I guess it’s lucky that my number didn’t change
I tried to call but I didn’t know what to say
Guess I’ll try to make it if I can
He said, “I’ve given up on getting much from you”
He said, “I’ve given up on getting much from you”

Know a girl who lives a couple states away
I asked her why she always felt the need to stay
I am a hypocrite but I’m trying to change
Isn’t that a part of growing up?
Shе said that she’s working on herself this timе
“Baby what can I give you if I ain’t got mine?”
I guess that all I lost was all my precious time
Guess I thought that I was showing up
She said, “I’ve given up on getting much from you”
She said, “I’ve given up on getting much from you”
Sometimes I like to go out where I can’t find friends
Stumble home and leave a bucket by the bed
I go to sleep on fire wake up soaking wet
I thought I could do it on my own
I open my eyes and see her standing there
Mother Mary in a T-shirt and her underwear
“I don’t know how to help you but don’t be scared
Nobody can do it on their own”

I have not given up on getting much from you
I have not given up on getting much from you
I have not given up on getting much from you
I have not given up on getting much from you

Got a friend that I don’t get to see too much
Called me up and told me that he fell in love
Said he’s getting married in about 6 months
Gotta beat the baby if they can
