Nothing but the Whole Wide World

[Chorus 1]

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, whole wide world to gain

[Verse 1]

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

Women and country on my mind

Bolting me out over the borderline

Now there's no more love lost 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

[Chorus 1]

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, whole wide world to gain

[Verse 2]

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 'em talk

Said no rich man's worth his weight in dust

Bury him down same as they'll do to us

God wants us busy, never giving up

He wants nothing but the whole wide world for us

[Chorus 2]

Nothing but the whole wide world for us

Nothing, nothing

Well there's nothing but the whole wide world for us

Nothing, nothing

Well there's nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for us

[Verse 3]

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

Never was too good at either of 'em

I'm here for adventure whichever way it comes

But 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

[Chorus 3]

Nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing, nothing

Give nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing, nothing

Give nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for one
