We Don't Need It
guitar chords lyrics
I was afraid to get out of the car
So I just sat, I just sat there
How was I gonna tell her I'd just lost my job
I gotta go in there, I'm goin' in there
So we gathered round the table and I told them the news
But the looks of desperation nearly broke me in two
Son I know you want, them running shoes
There gonna have to wait, There gonna have to wait
And darlin' I know, you wanted that dress in the window
We're gonna get it, It just won't be now
Then my little just looked up at me with those little round eyes
And the words that she told me, almost made me cry
She said, we don't need it, we can do without it
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it
We're gonna stick together, make it better
She said, we don't need it, we can do without it
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it
We're gonna stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you
My son said, daddy, I got sixteen dollars
I want you to take it, I want you to take it
The next door neighbor asked me to rake the leaves
I'm gonna do it, I'm sure gonna do it
'Cause I wanna help you out anyway I can
And it's about time I learn to be a man
And my wife say's darlin, we got all this stuff
Just sittin' there, just sittin' there
Like Grandma's china and silverware
It's just sittin' there gatherin' dust
And ever since she's past away, we haven't use it yet
So let's put it out in the front yard and see what we can get
She said, we don't need it, we can do without it
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it
We're gonna stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you
Days and weeks and months went by
Big boss called in the nick-of-time
And I got my check and I brought it home
Yea it's been tough, but we've been blessed
Your gonna get them shoes and that brand new dress
But you know, we don't need it, we can do without it
We're gonna make it, no doubt about it
We're gonna stick together, make it better
We don't need it, all we need is you (2X's) All we need is you
Daddy came around every once in a while
But momma, she was there all the time
And summertime in Compton was not like TV
But we were right there where we needed to be
And the Thurmond Boys on Peach Street with only their dad
So proud of themselves and that old Pontiac they had
And Miss Brooks, her Bible and her three little boys
At the Double Rock Baptist Church makin' a joyful noise
There's more than one way home
Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong
And whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
Got me a job at the grocery store
Workin' weekdays after school from 5 to 9
And Tommy, John and Charlie were the neighborhood stars
With their midsize homes and their big fancy cars
And when the eagle flied on Friday I'd go out to play
Wastin' time with Otis out on the dock of the bay
And my ticket to adventure was a ride on the bus
Different places, different faces but they were just like us
Well, there's more than one way home
Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong
And whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
Well, there's more than one way home
Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong
Whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
There's more than one way home
And there ain't no right way, ain't no wrong
Whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
More than one way home
Ain't no right way, no wrong
Whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
