Testi musica canzoni

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.
