Lyrics

[Verse 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]

I'm here on the blacktop

The sun in my eyes

Women and country on my mind

Bolting me out

Over the borderline

[Verse 3]

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

No more digging holes or graves

And nothing to lose but rivets and chains

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain

[Verse 4]

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 5]

Was born in a stable and built like an ox

Down on the pastures I learned how to walk

My Mama she raised me to sing and just let 'em talk

Said no rich man's worth his weight in dust

But 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

[Verse 6]

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, whole wide world for us

[Verse 7]

Ooh (Ooh)

Ooh (Ooh)

[Verse 8]

Now 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?

I'm 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

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

Ooh (Ooh)

Ooh (Ooh)

Ooh (Ooh)

Ooh (Ooh)
