"I Use What I Got" Lyrics (Relentless album)
Written By Brett James, Jim Collins
[Verse 1:]
Nobody ever thought
I'd make it in this town.
They all said I should leave my truck,
Pack, an' turn right back around.
They said I didn't have what it takes,
I needed money an' a pretty face.
But I just look at them an' say...
[Chorus:]
I use what I got, take what I get.
Give until I ain't got nothin' left.
Then I give it some more.
Keep on climbin' up that mountain.
Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat.
Past every no, after no, after no,
Till I get a yes.
I don't worry about what I'm not,
I use what I got, yeah.
[Verse 1:]
I still got big dreams
An' a strong heart.
I got a lot of real good friends,
Who helped me get this far.
I still got a lot of miles to go.
It's a windin', uphill road,
But I'll get there the only way I know.
[Chorus:]
I use what I got, take what I get.
Give until I ain't got nothin' left.
Then I give it some more.
Keep on climbin' up that mountain.
Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat.
Past every no, after no, after no,
Till I get a yes.
I don't worry about what I'm not,
I use what I got, yeah.
[Coda:]
Keep on rollin' along, doin' my best
Past every no, after no, after no,
Till I get a yes.
I don't worry about what I'm not,
No, no, I don't worry about what I'm not,
I use what I got, yeah.
[Instrumental to end.]
