Traffic - Shouldn't have took more than you gave (1971)

Thank you my friend CWO3 (Join to see)for posting the classic Traffic song 'Shouldn't have took more than you gave' from 1971 written by Dave Mason before he left the band.
This was released on the 1971 'Welcome to the Canteen' that was Traffic's first live album.

Here is the songwriter Dave Mason's solo album recording

"Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave" written by Dave Mason
Lyrics
"Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all gone different ways
But the dues we have to pay are still the same

It's time to change the script for this old play
You're readin' and not feelin' what you say
Comin' on too strong for me to stay
Interpret what you see in any way

It seems the simple things
Are hardest to explain
Wind is gonna come too soon
And deaden all the pain
Footprints in the snow will show
Where the things are still the same
Till you get the warmer sun
Of someone else to live again

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Then we wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all gone different ways
But the dues we have to pay are still the same

Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Keep on...
