Don't Take It Away

by Seasick Steve

Lyrics
Oh man, we gonna bust out this one-string diddly bow now
It's gonna bark at you
What I say

The thing I'm tryin' to be is just bein' me
The things I wanna hold on to is the things I got for free
Now, what made me do this thing?
What made me wanna sing?
Why even wanna play? I don't know
But don't take it away

Come on, man, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Mhm

The things I wanna buy is just the things I wanna buy
But the things that's really worth it, what make me feel alright
When I get to get to sing, when I get to do the thing
When I even get to play, I don't know
But don't take it away

Don't take it away
Hear what I say
Don't take it away
Hear what I say

Yeah, man, don't take it away
It's all I've got, y'all
It's all I've got
Don't take it away
It's my soul, y'all, right here
It's what I do
It's my soul
Yeah, this is it up here, right here
Right here, now I'm talkin'

See, the thing I'm tryin' to be is just bein' me
The things I try to hold on to is the things I got for free
Like, what made me do this thing?
What made me wanna sing?
Why even wanna play? I don't know
But don't take it away

Don't take it away
Hear what I say
Don't take it away
Hear what I say

Man, don't take it away
It's all I got
Don't take it away
It's all I got
Don't take it away
