Take my hand sweet darlin' wipe that from 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 hoard 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 walk 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 hoard their land Just take what you need, don't empty out the store Just take what you need 'cause I ain't got much Took a look in the paper While tryin' to eat a bite You know I read the evening news and lost my appetite Some have the nerve to ask for more respect from you and me Just take what you need, don't empty out the store Just take what you need 'cause I ain't got much (Repeat 1st verse)
