Take What You Got

Remember the bar where our fathers went To spend the end of the day Remember the yard behind the bar Where we’d run and play Yeah, well, now the bar is a laundromat Now, the yard is a high-rise flat You can't go back You can't make it last You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot You've got to take what you've got You'd always say that one of these days You'd get out of this broken town You'd always say that you wouldn't stay No, you wouldn't stick around Never knew what I wanted before Now I'm even more unsure You can't move on if you're still in the past You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot You've got to take what you've got Everybody’s telling me what I need to be Change with the times, move on with my life Or just wait around and see Well, maybe this time, I take a chance Leap into the vast expanse Maybe this time, I seize my destiny My destiny You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot You've got to take what you've got You've got to take what you've got
