I gave up all my striving
|
I gave up living lies
|
I gave up analyzing
|
if I measure up or if I’m right?
|
I gave up criticizing
|
I gave up being right
|
I gave up always trying
|
to be good enough in some people’s eyes
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Well I don’t need a house on top of the world
|
I like the car I’m driving
|
Everything I got ain’t what I’m worth
|
That’s not the reason I’m living
|
I don’t need to see my name in lights
|
or leave any grand impression
|
I’ve got everything I need in life
|
‘cause love’s all we’re taking to heaven
|
|
I gave up comprising
|
I gave up all my pride
|
I gave up justifying
|
and found who I was in my Savior’s eyes
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Always working, never stopping, talking on the cell phone
|
Never find the time to get away and leave the work load
|
Run around in circles just to keep up with the Joneses
|
Even in the 9 to 5 all I really know is ...
|
|
I don’t need a house on top of the world
|
I like the car I’m driving
|
Everything I got ain’t what I’m worth
|
That’s not the reason I’m living
|
|
I don’t need a house on top of the world
|
I like the car I’m driving
|
Everything I got ain’t what I’m worth
|
That’s not the reason I’m living
|
I don’t need to see my name in lights
|
or leave any grand impression
|
I’ve got everything I need in life
|
‘cause love’s all we’re taking to heaven
|
|
I gave up all my striving
|
I gave up living lies
|
I gave up justifying
|
and found who I was in my Savior’s eyes
|
|
I gave up [x2]
|
Oh I gave up
|
I gave up
|
Oh yea!
