Given Up Songtext
von Them Coulee Boys

I got a friend I don′t get to see too much
Called me up and told me that he fell in love
Said they're getting married in about 6 months
Gotta beat the baby if they can

I don′t think we've talked since graduation day
Guess I'm lucky that my number didn′t change
I Tried to call but I didn′t know what to say
Guess I'll try to make it if can

He said I′ve given up on getting much from you
I have given up on getting much from you


I know a girl who lives a couple states away
Asked her why she always felt the need to stay
I am hypocrite but I'm trying to change
Isn′t that a part growing up?
She said that she's working on herself this time
Baby What can I give to you if I ain′t got mine?
Guess that all I lost was all that precious time
Guess I thought that I was showing up

She said I've given up on getting much from you
She said I've given up on getting much from you

Sometimes I like to go out where I can′t find friends
Stumble home and leave a bucket by the bed
I go to sleep on fire wake up soaking wet
I thought I could do it on my own
I open my eyes and see her standing there
Mother Mary in a T-shirt and her underwear
I don′t know how to help you but don't be scared
Nobody can do it on their own

I have not given up on getting much from you
I have not given up on getting much from you
I have not given up on getting much from you
I have not given up on getting much from you


I got a friend I don′t get to see too much
Called me up and told me that he fell in love
Said they're getting married in about 6 months
Gotta beat the baby if they can
