Took You Up

(album: May Your Kindness Remain - 2018)

Is it the journey or the destination?
Is this love or is this addiction?
If circumstances are meant to be
What does that say about you and me?
Karaoke on a Monday night
Television when we want to hide
Frozen dinners when money's tight
Making love on a laundry pile

Ain't got much, but we got each other
Not much but love to offer
I took you up
I took you up

Good friends, good company
In every corner of this country
But none of them quite get me
The way you get me
Long drives through the countryside
Cheap motels, diners, and dives
Calling numbers on the billboard signs
See who picks up on the other line

Ain't got much, but we got each other
Not much but love to offer
I took you up
I took you up

Lonely even when you're standing there
In so deep, with few words to share
Sometimes love gets you so damn depressed
All you can do is hide from it
But I wouldn't have it any other way
Wouldn't take the mansions or the getaways
Wouldn't trade love for a million bucks
If I have you, then that's enough

Ain't got much, but we got each other
Not much but love to offer
I took you up
I took you up
