What Do You Want Lyrics

What Do You Want
By Tom Russell
Written T. Russell
This ole Martin Guitar made in nineteen forty six
Its cracked ,scratched , and splintered from finger nails and picks
But it's been my close companion since nineteen sixty two
Please don't ask me to decide between this guitar and you
What do you want from me, what do you want
Do I have to give you everything
What do you want from me, what do you want
Do I have to give you everything
Well all my friends quit drinkin, you cant smoke no where no more
I think I'll take up smokin though I've never smoked before
I'm getting tired of decaf coffee, I crave high test in my cup
too young to die of bored and too old to grow up
Instrumental break
Well I've unloaded boxcars, Ive sold bibles door to door
yeah id be rich and famous if I weren't alone and poor
Blessed are the the poor in spirit 'fore they'll inherit the earth
but the day I hand the world to you, you'll ask me what it's worth
Do I have to give you everything
