Montgomery Gentry – What It Takes lyrics
I learn what I know
But I was born this way
More of a number
And less of a name
I talk a little too quiet
And not enough, they say
I only tell my secrets
When it’s time to pray

You wouldn’t see the war just lookin’ from the outside
I’ve got red-dirt blood here runnin on the inside

Sink or swim, live or die
A saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid
It’s never just another day
And you don’t back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am
What it takes
What it takes

Wash away my footprints
With the undertow
While I’ll walk the wire of the great unknown
I got two parts too
My storied soul
One stands with my brothers, one waits for me back at home

Sink or swim, live or die
A saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid
It’s never just another day
And you don’t back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am
What it takes

You wouldn’t see the war just lookin’ from the outside
I’ve got red-dirt blood here runnin on the inside

Sink or swim, live or die
A saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid
It’s never just another day
And you don’t back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am
What it takes
Oh, what it takes
What it takes
