Lyrics
Go With What You Got

Can't see as well as I used to, can't run as far or as fast
Sometimes I think that the old me is becoming exactly that
But when I start thinking of all I can't do that's when I tell poor me
Beethoven was 50 and deaf as a post when he wrote his Ninth Symphony...
and he'd say
Chorus
Go with what you got, start from where you are
Give it your best shot, keep reaching for that star
Get in the race, keep your own pace, keep moving and never stop
Just go...go with what you got
Excuses are easy to come by, sometimes they're all that I've got
It's someday and somewhere and somehow, I say maybe but mean maybe not
But when I compare my molehills, to the mountains some people climb
It's like somebody slapped up a billboard saying boy, stop wasting your time...Chorus
Bridge
Go with your doubt, go with your fear, go with those ten extra pounds
Go though the timing's not perfectly right, go because time's running out...Chorus
