Nothing but the Whole Wide World

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 turn me out over the borderline

There no more love lost and no more games
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, built like an ox
Down in the pastures I learned how to walk
Mama, she raised me to sing and let 'em talk

And no rich man's worth his weight in dust
They bury him down same as they'll do us
God wants you 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, can'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
I'm free falling now, 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
