I Use What I Got Lyrics
Nobody ever thought I'd make it in this town
They all said I should leave my truck packed
And turn right back around
They said I didn't have what it takes
I needed money and a pretty face
But I just look at them and say
I use what I got, take what I get
Give 'til I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep trucking along, work up a sweat
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got
I still got big dreams and a strong heart
I got a lot of real good frineds who helped me get this far
I still got a lot of miles to go
It's a winding, uphill road
But I'll get there the only way I know
I use what I got, take what I get
Give 'til I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep trucking along, work up a sweat
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got
Keep on rolling along, doing my best
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
No, no I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got
They all said I should leave my truck packed
And turn right back around
They said I didn't have what it takes
I needed money and a pretty face
But I just look at them and say
Give 'til I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep trucking along, work up a sweat
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got
I got a lot of real good frineds who helped me get this far
I still got a lot of miles to go
It's a winding, uphill road
But I'll get there the only way I know
Give 'til I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep trucking along, work up a sweat
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
No, no I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got

It's pretty obvious considering it's a country song :). Basically, he isn't an ideal country singer but he does the best he can. Great song.
