Lyrics

Pour the wine light me a candle
Leave the chain off the back door
I may be late but what I got
Is worth waitin for

Time can fly and I'm in the fast lane
But I see a gleam in your eye
I'm reachin out for the brass ring
Don't let the love go by

I may not always be on time
Nobody's perfect lord knows
Sometimes you got to make a sacrifice
And give a little more

Give a little
love today
Give a little
I don't need much
Give a little
love today
Give a little
Just a little piece of your love

These dusty boots still eat up the road
And these old wings still get me high
My past due date is long gone
But I'll be good tonight

You think you see the end of the road
But everybody gets a bad day
If you can make it to tomorrow
All your cares will fade away


Give a little today
Give a little I don't need a lot
Give a little today
Just a little piece of your love

Too many people sit around waiting for the news
Too many people are waitin for somebody else to make the first move

I may not always be right on time
Nobody's perfect lord knows
Sometimes you got to make a sacrifice
And give a little more

Give a little today
Give a little I don't need a lot
Give a little today
Just a little piece of your love

Has a real nice blues feel. I loved the organ, It added a Philly sound.

This is good song with a great melody. Reminded me a little of Steely Dan.Enjoyed this song. Good vocals and melody.
