Give Me a Try

He was a wild one, Flagg flyers and Elvis
I was a white buck boy
He had a hot rod without a muffler
Always brought a whole lot of noise

Today I’d be a geek or a loser
Those days I was a square
I wanted you, couldn’t get past him
Couldn’t get anywhere

I spent school days praying
Why not give me a try
I spent school days praying
Why not give me a try

You loved riding in his custom hot rod
I didn’t have a car to drive
I was little more than a nothing
You didn’t know I was alive

Found out later things didn’t work out
He lost his job and left town
Stuck you with three kids you were wild as the wild one
You two never settled down

I spent school days praying
Give me a try
Thank God those prayers weren’t answered
You didn’t give me a try
