Richard Barone - I Only Took What I Needed текст песни

I took a chance
I took a train to heaven
I found some freedom there
I rolled the dice
I threw a lucky seven
I only took my share
I travelled light
I carried next to nothing
enough to get me there
I played the part
in my imagination
was I a fool to care?
I only took what I needed,
only took what I needed.
Took my guitar
Change that was in my pocket
I went from town to town
Where life was cheap
love went for next to nothing
caught with my trousers down
I only took what I needed,
only took what I needed.
I've been a master and a slave
But I never took more than I gave.
I found a face
I had a fascination
You let me rule your world
I had a job
I had a reputation
Until the flags unfurled
Then in a flash
in my imagination
I felt the chains dig in
I packed my bags
turned in my resignation
got on the train again.
I only took what I needed,
only took what I needed.
