Take my hand sweet darlin'

Wipe that frown off your face

I don't love anyone but you

No one can take your place

But sometimes I worry darlin'

The way you seem to hog my love



Just take what you need

Don't empty out the store

Just take what you need

'Cause I ain't got much more



Took a stroll in the country

Some peace of mind to find

Wire fences everywhere

No place to rest my mind

Seems like a shame to me

The way some people hog the land



Repeat Chorus



Took a look in the paper

While tryin' to eat a bite

You know I read the evenin' news

And lost my appetite

Some have the nerve to ask

For more respect from you and me



Repeat Chorus
