lyrics

They told me back in high school
"Don’t be a fool boy"
If you don’t shape up soon
you’ve got a long hard race to the middle
Im doing pretty good for myself
Young man in pretty good health
Got a girl and a dog
and of course I’ve got my trouble

But what you’ve got is what you make it
Make it your own
What you got is what you make it
So make it strong

When I was a boy I thought that real love was just a given
And after all the bloods been drawn
and after all the pain a man can take is gone
The good ones lay the stake
The strong will make a way

CHORUS

Go on a give love and take some too
There's enough to go around
but you gotta catch it while you’re living
Whats the difference what we do?
We’re not hurting anybody and certainly not you

What I’ve done will trail behind me always
and I won’t run
Cause what you’ve got is what you make it
And I made it strong

Come to far we’ve got to go all the way
