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

Im here on the blacktop, the sun in my eyes
Women and country on my mind
Both turned me out over the borderline
Now theres 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 mans worth his weight in dust
Theyll 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 aint got no money, cant get no love
Never was too good at either of them
Im here for adventure, whichever way it comes
But what good is an angel that wont catch up?
Im free falling now, and Im ready enough
I give my tears and I give my blood
Id 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
Id give nothing but the whole wide world for one
