I Only Took What I Needed Songtext

I took a chance I took a train to heaven I found some freedom there I rolled the dice I threw a lucky seven I only took my share I travelled light I carried next to nothing enough to get me there I played the part in my imagination was I a fool to care? I only took what I needed, only took what I needed. Took my guitar Change that was in my pocket I went from town to town Where life was cheap love went for next to nothing caught with my trousers down I only took what I needed, only took what I needed. I've been a master and a slave But I never took more than I gave. I found a face I had a fascination You let me rule your world I had a job I had a reputation Until the flags unfurled Then in a flash in my imagination I felt the chains dig in I packed my bags turned in my resignation got on the train again. I only took what I needed, only took what I needed.
