Lyrics

C7 F C C7 F

G C G F
I've walked with body since forever. Over high roads and low.
G C G F
I thought of quitting but my body never did. Never shut down or even hid

C7 F C C7 F C7 F C C7 F
All I got. Baby it's all I got All I got. Baby it's all I got

G C G F
I'm shy but my body leads the way. Best face forward, everyday.
G C G F
Taking up space, it's my space to take. My space for now, for my own sake

C7 F C C7 F C7 F C C7 F
All I got. Baby it's all I got All I got. Baby it's all I got

G C G F
Better than a face for radio, but washboard abs? I don't know
G C G F
Full hair, full teeth, like horse on show I can even shovel the snow.

C7 F C C7 F C7 F C C7 F
All I got. Baby it's all I got All I got. Baby it's all I got

G C G F
OK, I'll never be a porn star. My body don't go that far
G C G F
But please let me reiterate. I don't overcompensate

C7 F C C7 F C7 F C C7 F
All I got. Baby it's all I got All I got. Baby it's all I got

C7 F C C7 F C7 F C C7 F G
All I got. Baby it's all I got

So true! What a terrific, upbeat anthem of self-acceptance, with the charming uke and earnest vocals really selling the good vibes. And quite the sing-along chorus too!

I like the chorus a lot! This is empowering in a way, but humble at the same time.

Ha! Talk about relating on sooo many levels. I took this listen as a lesson in life changes and acceptance. Thanks for posting this tune that speaks to me on several levels. I dig the arrangement and personal touch. Aces, friend.
