lyrics

Give Back
july 2011


what can I give to repay what’s been given me?
what does a man have to share when he’s lost everything?
what does a man feel worth when there’s not much left within?
when it’s way too soon to let it all go, too late to start over again?


I only have the wise words I heard a wise man say
I have no more saving grace than a bum who begs for change
I only need an ear sometimes or a hand to help me through
cause some days all I give back is my guitar and the truth


which way does a man go times he needs love?
when things aren’t as they seem and he’s livin with his ghosts?
when he’s run as far as he can run and been farther than he knows?
when he takes the road less traveled on and just winds up at home?


I only have the wise words I heard a wise man say
I can wrap you in my arms or I can take the blame
I can lend an ear sometimes or a hand to help you through
but some days all I give back is my guitar and the truth


I only have the wise words I heard a wise man say
I have no more saving grace than a bum who begs for change
I only need an ear sometimes or a hand to help me through
cause some days all I give back is this guitar and the truth

about

Hank Barbee North Carolina

Guitar player, balladeer, and self-reflective life-mender all rolled up in a lanky package of boyish charm. ...an interesting evolution...combine dirty blues, roots-rock, thumb-style "Travis picking", surf, dixieland and western swing… throw in some heavy life experience and meaningful lyrical content… what’s for dinner is a rich stew of the last 100+ years of American musical heritage... ... more
