Nothing But The Whole Wide World

Nothing but the whole wide world to gain

Nothing, nothing

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain

Nothing, nothing

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain

I'm here on the blacktop, the sun in my eyes

Women and country on my mind

Both turned me out over the borderline

Now there's no more love loss and no more shame

No more digging holes or graves

Nothing to lose but rivets and chains

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain

Nothing but the whole wide world to gain

Nothing, nothing

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain

Nothing, nothing

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain

Was born in a stable and built like an ox

Down in the pastures I learned how to walk

Mama, she raised me to sing and just let them talk

Said no rich man's worth his weight in dust

They'll bury them down same as they do us

God wants us busy, never giving up

He wants nothing but the whole wide world for us

Nothing but the whole wide world for us

Nothing, nothing

Wants nothing but the whole wide world for us

Nothing, nothing

Wants nothing but the whole wide world for us

I ain't got no money, can't get no love

Never was too good at either of them

I'm here for adventure, whichever way it comes

But what good is an angel that won't catch up?

I'm free falling now, and I'm ready enough

I give my tears and I give my blood

I'd give nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing, nothing

Give nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing, nothing

I'd give nothing but the whole wide world for one
