Don't Give Up On Me

Jason Aldean · Wide Open [2009]

I don't go to church enough

I curse out loud I drink too much

I'm more of a sinner than a saint.

Gotta dusty bible on my shelf

I just pick it up when I need help.

Lord knows there's a lot I need to change

And I want to, baby you make me want to.



You tie the knot when I'm at the end of my rope.

You never stop believing in me when I don't know

Who I am or what I'm supposed to be.

I don't give you no good reasons

But baby don't give up on me.



I've smoked my last cigarette

At least a hundred times I bet,

I guess I'll just keep quitting 'til it sticks.

But for all the things I've failed to do

I've never failed at loving you.

We both know I can't grant your every wish

But I want to baby you make me want to.



You tie the knot when I'm at the end of my rope.

You never stop believing in me when I don't know

Who I am or what I'm supposed to be.

I don't give you no good reasons

But baby don't give up on me.



You tie the knot when I'm at the end of my rope.

You never stop believing in me when I don't know

Who I am or what I'm supposed to be.

I don't give you no good reasons

But baby don't give up on me.
