Some folks have called me a walking accident

First day I could drive my mamma’s Cavalier wound up with the axle bent

Never had the guts to cut but I still shoveled the gravel all the same

Always was the kind to cuss and fuss when things didn’t ever go my way

Oh Lord, I finally get it now

Appreciate the breath until I can turn this thing around

Please don’t ya give up on me

You’ve been showing me all kinds of signs

But sometimes, I can’t read

I’ve been up and I’ve been down

But that higher ground is where I want to be

Please don’t ya give up on me

Been passing off stupidity for a man that’s grown and brave

Standing at the bottom of this hole digging myself a deeper grave

I have failed and I’ve made bail and I’ve pled guilty on a count or two

I’ve been known to pick a fight just to hear the sound of my own voice argue

Oh Lord, I finally get it now

Appreciate the breath until I can turn this thing around

Please don’t ya give up on me

You’ve been showing me all kinds of signs

But sometimes, I can’t read

I’ve been up and I’ve been down

But that higher ground is where I want to be

Please don’t ya give up on me

Please don’t ya give up on me

I said please don’t ya give up on me

No please don’t ya give up on me

I said please don’t ya give up on me
