Gave Me a Shøt - 40bem

Born in the heat of the desert My mother died giving me life Deprived of the love of a father Blamed for the loss of his wife You know Lord I've been in a prison For something that I never done It's been one hill after another I've climbed them all one by one But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time My woman got tired of heartaches Tired of the grief and the strife So tired of working for nothing Just tired of being my wife She took my one ray of sunshine She took my pride and my joy She took my reason for living She took my small baby boy But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time

God gave me a girl, girl gave me a kiss Kiss gave me a feeling that I still get Every time I look in her eyes I don't deserve her and I don't know why She gave me her hand and I gave her a ring Then as soon as I could, I gave her my last name Now, I'm gonna give her forever I knew what I wanted, but he knew better God gave me a girl At just the right time And I'd give her the world 'Cause she changed mine God gave me a girl, girl gave me a kiss Kiss gave me a feeling that I still get Every time I look in her eyes I don't deserve her and I don't know why She gave me her hand and I gave her a ring Then as soon as I could, I gave her my last name Now, I'm gonna give her forever I knew what I wanted, but he knew better God gave me a girl, God gave me a girl Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, God gave me a girl

Got a surprise from my honey Got a message from my girl When she picked up a pen from beside her bed And wrote me a scribbled note Said she'd be coming back to see me That she would be visiting real soon Gon' get up from her long white bed And leave this cold white room We would once more live together Go out on a loving spree Just like before the accident My baby would look at me I saw the sweet face trembling As she tried to open her eyes I jumped with the joy of a grateful boy The day my baby gave me a surprise Got a surprise from my honey Got a message from my girl When she picked up a pen from beside her bed And wrote me a scribbled note I saw her sweet face trembling As she tried to open her eyes I jumped with the joy of a grateful boy The day my baby gave me a surprise
