Everything I Got

I've been bitchin and complainin
using God's name in vain and
wishing on so much more to show for, to show for
And I guess when you're trying just to end
that battle after battle you forget that there's a damn war
a war to be won, a life to be shared, shared with someone

and when it rains it pours it's feast or famine
and we've all had many days before
where we should've got our heads examined
well i'm at the end of my rope
and all that i've got left is hope
i pull the rope until the rope it gives
cuz nothing's stronger than my will to live. whoa

I'll give it everything i've got yeah
i'm gunna pull through
i'll give it everything i've got yeah
what more can i do, oh.
i'll give it everything i've got ohhh
take what i'm given
oh i'll give it everything i've got
this life's worth living.

to all those who can't catch a break,
i sympathize. here's my shoes go try them on for size
and if they feel comfortable
you'll see i'm not the only one who's searching for something more
here's a story, bet it rings a bell
you work a job that doesn't pay too well
you're all fed up and while you used to love it,
you wanna tell your boss to take this job and shove it oh.
even once you lost a loved one
i fend for years in search of someone
i've spent too much time on the inside of hospitals
too much crying on the long drives to funerals
well soon enough we'll all be leaving
so let's cheers to another day breathing
and raise a glass to the ones who passed on
they're the one's who keep us strong. whoa.

I'll give it everything i've got yeah
i'm gunna pull through
i'll give it everything i've got yeah
what more can i do, oh.
i'll give it everything i've got ohhh
take what i'm given
oh i'll give it everything i've got
this life's worth living.
