Take What I'm Given

I think that I'd like to go live on a farm
 And live out my days like a loose ball of yarn
 Sit 'neath the oak tree, my sweetheart and me
 And carve out my name and my own destiny
 Yes I'll take what I'm given
 I'll buy me a hog and some acres of land
 And dig through the soil with the strength of my hands
 Pray for the rains to come nourish my crop
 And love that old land 'til the day that I drop
 Yes I'll take what I'm given
 I've lived in the city and I've seen all its charm
 And I know what it feels like to be in her arms
 But all this technology's wearing me down
 It lifts us all up, then we're slammed to the ground
 There's too many egos in fast moving cars
 Thinking that their lives are worth more than ours
 I'd love to live life like a lazy old hound
 Man wasn't made to be this tightly wound
 So I'll take what I'm given
 Yes I'll take what I'm given
