Lyrics

FOR ALL IT'S WORTH
Music and Lyrics by Bill Chiklakis copyright 2003

I was only seventeen, I was footloose and fancy-free
Livin' life with lady luck, from the back of a pickup truck
When I needed good advice, you were there and I didn't think twice
I never really did think at all, I was...
Too busy just havin' a ball.

But when I look up to the stars at night,
I look up high and I still can see you there...and I hope you care.

For all it's worth...I still think of you
For all it's worth...I still believe
For all it's worth...I still miss you sometimes
I thank God above for the love we made on earth
For all it's worth

Been movin' around you know,
From Beantown to New Mexico
A local bar on a double-bill
I can't say that I've had my fill, but...

Sometimes I feel like I'm gettin' nowhere
I pay my dues and I'm makin' my share
But I've got dreams and I'm alone
I need a break just to bring 'em home

When I look up to the stars at night
I look up high and I still can see you there
And I know you care

Chorus

If I died and went to heaven tonight,
That'd just be fine.
But to say I've done it all and had my share,
Baby I'd be lyin' 'cause I'm dyin' here inside.

I was only seventeen, I was footloose and fancy free
You know I miss my lady luck
I'm comin' home to make it up

Chorus
