I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl
For a girl whose name I can\'t recall
Then we broke up
I gave a knee to the football team
Chasing that highschool state champ dream
We almost won

I gave junior college almost a year
Then I gave a greyhound twenty bucks
And that\'s how I got here

Chorus:
I give all my money, for a slice of daily bread
I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met
And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So there in\'t much left to offer
But I give my heart to you

I gave a beard and a head of hair
To a boot camp corporal with a barber\'s chair
At Camp LeJeune
I gave Uncle Sam what he bargained for
Twenty-four months, not a minute more
I just didn\'t fit in

Then I gave a highschool friend of mine a call
And we gave a body shop a try
\'Til we gave up last fall
(Chorus)
