Nothing But The Whole Wide World Songtext / Lyric

Nothing but the whole wide world to gain

Nothing, nothing

Nothing but the whole wide world to gain

Nothing, nothing

Got nothing but the whole wide, 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



There are no more love lost and no more gains

No more digging holes or graves

Nothing to lose but rivets and chains

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain






I 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 I let 'em talk

Said no rich man's worth his weight in dust

Bury him down same as they'll 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

Nothing but the whole wide world for us

Nothing, nothing

He wants nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for us



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

Never was too good at either of 'em

I'm here for adventure whichever way it comes

What good is an angel that won't catch up

Free falling now and I'm ready enough

I give my tears and I give my blood

I give nothing but the whole wide world for one



Nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing, nothing

Nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing, nothing

I give nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for one
