"What You Give Away"

Vince Gill recently released a 4-CD, boxed set of brand new music! Quite an accomplishment.

We were fortunate enough to have him join us on October at our annual "A Night to Remember 2006" celebration at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center here in Dallas.

The acoustics in the hall are amazing. To say the least, Vince and his 17-piece band filled the place with music!
Vince played a good portion of his new music.

Among my favorites is "What You Give Away," written with Al Anderson and performed on the album with Sheryl Crow.


You read the business page, see how you did today
Life's just passin' by
You live up on the hill, you've got a view that kills
Never wonder why

After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
What you give away

There's people on the street
Ain't got enough to eat
You just shake your head
The measure of a man is one who lends a hand
That's what my father said
After you've counted everything you've saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
What you give away

It's what you give away

After you've counted everything you've saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away

You know it's not too late
It's all for Heaven's sake
What you give away
What you give away
What you give away


Thanks for the reminder, Vince!
