Might Just Take Your Life
(Blackmore/Coverdale/Lord/Paice)

I got more than I asked for
There ain’t nothin’ I need
Took all ’til I had more
I’m always takin’ the lead
Old man shakin’ dice down on the street
Tryin’ to make a livin’ somehow
But I’m really sure about
Gettin’ things sorted out
I’m gettin’ ready right now

You can’t hold me
I have told you
Might just take your life
Might just take your life

I’ve been called by many names
And all of them are bad
I can take it all the same
It’s all I’ve ever had
I’ve got somethin’ that you can’t get
But one thing you can see
Getting there ain’t easy
But it sure was hard for me

You can’t hold me
I have told you
Might just take your life
Might just take your life

Every time I take a look
There’s someone close behind
They never used to make a pass
The things that crossed their minds
Now they tell me that it’s alright
And they want to be my friend.
They’re ridin’ on my back
When is it goin’ to end?

You can’t hold me
I have told you
Might just take your life
Might just take your life

Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need

Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need

Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need

Current Playlist Review

This week John makes the difficult decision to replace “Sail Away” with “Might Just Take Your Life.” Nate gets a pass this week as his random playlist already contained “Might Just Take Your Life.”
