I wrote this song with Joe right after the single "Dreams Are Out There Waiting". It developed pretty fast. Pretty much in one sitting. Joe did a great version of it on his 2012 CD "Early Indications". I had worked on a demo of the song back then (hence my phrasing of the verses differ from Joe's version), but decided it was best to let Joe release his track first. I only decided to touch it up a bit in 2014. Another song that was practiced in preparation for playing live with Susan DeVita in Pennsylvania.

lyrics

THERE FOR THE TAKING

Something in my memory
From a long long time ago
Said to me that there would be
So much more to know
Ahh but now you’re so young

And like the fool I’ve always been
To this I paid no heed
And swore that I knew everything
That I would ever need
Aw man you can be so dumb

And so I went along my way
With thoughts I couldn’t share
And never saw that everybody else
Had done that and been there
Had done that and been there

You think that you can make it on your own
But you’re mistaken
Still all you ever need to know
Is right there for the taking yeah

I look back now and it seems so clear
Oh I guess I’m none the worse
But wisdom that comes with the years
Is a blessing and a curse
‘cause it don’t get any easier
when you can’t take good advice
and you’re left with just your stupid pride
and your own device

You think that you can make it on your own
but you’re mistaken, so mistaken
still all you you’ll ever need to know
is right there for the taking
