Give It Away - Live

If you want more happy than your heart will hold
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told
Take whatever you have, and give it away
If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
And deep satisfaction when the day is done
Throw your heart wide open and give it away

He was workin' in his garden when I happened by
He waved me over with that look in his eye
And started breakin' off some ears of corn
He says, "Here boy, today this corn is just right
Boil it up for your supper tonight"
I've learned it's true what my pappy used to say
Oh, nothing's quite as good until you give it away

If you want more happy than your heart will hold
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told
Take whatever you have, and give it away, oh
If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
And deep satisfaction when the day is done
Throw your heart wide open and give it away (hey!)

Oh, there's been a lotta water go over the dam
Since the day in the garden with my Uncle Sam
So, I hope you'll hear these words I have to say (everybody)
There are two kinds of folks-takers and givers
There's gripers and complainers and big-hearted livers
It depends on how we choose to spend our days
Oh, we can hoard up all we've got, or give it all away

If you want more happy than your heart will hold
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told
Take whatever you have, and give it away
If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
And deep satisfaction when the day is done
Throw your heart wide open and give it away
(Okay, let me see your light out, here we go)

If you want more happy than your heart will hold
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told
Take whatever you have, and give it away (give, give, give and give it away)
If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
And deep satisfaction when the day is done
Throw your heart wide open and give it away

Give it away (give it away)
Give it away (oh, you gotta give, give, give it away)
Give it away (you gotta give it away, yeah, yeah)
Give it away

If you want more happy than your heart will hold
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told
Take whatever you have, and give it away (give, give, give, give it away)
If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
And deep satisfaction when the day is done
Throw your heart wide open and give, give it away

Do you believe that?
Woo!
Awesome!
