Songs:Even Trade (135041)

Lyrics

I used to trade all my stuff
cause my arms weren't long enough
to carry a wife a house & kids
& a past full of wish I dids
trade an open sky for a falling rain
a child's eyes for some growing pains
a sundown for another day
you can call it an even trade
how much land does one man need
six foot long from head to feet
trade some earth for a stone
skip that stone across the sea
way back when you made a deal with someone
who's to say why it comes undone
you made a trade you can't go back on
for all you gave three chords & this song
you can only carry what you can
in the back of a u haul van
throw the rest in a pickup truck
bring it all back home with a little luck
