A Little Bit
Tim Fite Lyrics

you've been drinkin' whiskey
You have been consuming whiskey as your favorite beverage.

I've been drinkin' rum
I, on the other hand, have been drinking rum as my favorite liquor.

talkin' 'bout the olden days
We keep on discussing the past, as if it were the only time that mattered.

like they're the only ones
We have the impression that the past is more valuable than the present or the future.

I made my mind up long ago
I have decided a long time ago that all I need is a little bit of the way we used to live.

all I need is a little bit
I only require a small portion of what used to make me happy.

of the way we used to live
I want to get back to the lifestyle and attitudes we had in the past, which were simpler and more peaceful.

of my home sweet home
I miss the atmosphere and environment of my hometown, which makes me feel comfortable and secure.

and I ain't the only one
I am aware that other people long for the same things as I do.

soon as I could pack up
As soon as I was ready, I packed my bags.

I was on the line
I got on the road immediately, ready to explore.

tossed my heart in the big old world
I put my feelings, my passions, my soul out there to experience the world.

to see what I could find
I was curious about what the world could offer, what new experiences and adventures awaited me.

thought I'd make a fortune
I thought I would be able to make a lot of money and wealth.

thought I'd make a name
I dreamed of becoming famous and well-known, recognized for my achievements.

I thought I could have it all
I believed I could attain all the things I wanted, and that I was entitled to them.

but in the end it's all the same
In the end, all my achievements and successes didn't matter if I couldn't find peace and happiness within myself.

all I need is a little slice
I only crave a small piece of the life I used to have, one that was simple and authentic.

of the good old fashioned life
I long for the traditional and genuine way of living that was meaningful to me.

all I need is a little bite
I only desire a small taste of the home and surroundings I'm familiar with and that bring me comfort and happiness.

every now and then
From time to time, occasionally.

the skies are ugly
The weather and environment are unpleasant and undesirable.

and the road's too long
The distance and effort required to move forward seem daunting and overwhelming.

and I sing this song
I express my feelings through singing this song, which embodies my longing for my old life and home.

I'll take what I can get
I am willing to accept whatever I can have, even if it's not everything I want.

throw your hands in the air
Raise your hands high in the sky.

and wave 'em like you just don't care
Wave your hands carelessly and freely as if you were carefree and wild.

throw your hands in the air
Raise your arms again for emphasis.

throw your hands in the air
Another call to action to raise your hands up.
