Lyrics You Never Gave Up on Me - Charley Pride

(Allen Reynolds)

Through the years with you I have often fallen
I've been every kind of fool a man can be
For I never had control of a devil in my soul
But somehow you never did give up on me.

When I couldn't keep a word
I struck at you in my hunger for things I didn't need
When I could need a break or bend you were there to be my friend
And somehow you never did give up on me.

And I'm proud to know God gave me such a woman
Who had eyes to see the good somewhere in me
Without you my life would only be a ruin
But somehow you never did give up on me.

And I'm proud to know God gave me such a woman
Who had eyes to see the good somewhere in me
Without you my life would only be a ruin
But somehow you never did give up on me...
