What He Got - Ain't What He Want

What he got - ain’t what he wants What he wants -he darn ain’t got [Verse 1] Life keeps throwin’ curves his way Cold dark nights and longer days Doors slam shut, roadblocks rise Too many dreams left behind Walls built up, nobody cares Feels like he’s carried more than his share [Chorus] What he got - ain’t what he wants What he wants - he darn ain’t got [Verse 2] He keeps reachin’ out for help Tryin’ hard to find himself Does he have to scream and shout For someone to figure it out? Every step’s an uphill climb Fightin’ hard just to survive Still he hangs on somehow Though he’s gettin’ mighty tired now [Chorus] What he got - ain’t what he wants What he wants - he darn ain’t got [Verse 3] He’s hangin’ there, nobody sees Sometimes he just wants to be free He’s fought so hard not to run Still waitin’ for his day to come Seems his whole life’s upside down Lost somewhere in this old town Every road he tries to take Leads him right back to heartache [Final Chorus] What he got - ain’t what he wants What he wants - he darn ain’t got [Music Outro]
