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 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 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, 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 '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 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 We 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 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 |

Been walking the dirt floor, my eyes are open Lord
Where did you go, have we just left you bored? On down this unholy well we rolled Stirring barrels in hell to be warm It's further back down than to high ground Ain't milk, ain't honey we're moving around Only one thing is certain That's everybody Everybody's hurting We come from the country where the rain follows plow And the evenings are cold enough to pluck your feathers out We hear your engines roaring deep and loud As we work the mules on this bludgeoned ground We've hunted these hills dry We've long outlasted the winter and our last wood pile Only one thing certain That's everybody Everybody's hurting Through rolling acres of boneyards we drift Our spirits' been broken been splintered to bits Faith is believing what you see ain't so My sweetheart we've got to learn to live with these ghosts They can't leave and we can't go We'd sell this valley if we could go north Where the sun sets dripping buckets of gold Through snow topped thunderheads and rows of wind clouds Coming down this mountain how sweet salvation sounds With our hands out like lowly pilgrims As the old men death salute the young ones in Already know what we're just learning That's everybody Everybody's hurting |

Gentlemen where have we been?
Can't find the whole where we got in We ain't had no letters since spring Gentlemen where have we been? Ain't going nowhere now Let this bottle make its rounds And let this liquor settle down We ain't going nowhere now Darker than ever in the mine Shine a light, shine a light Holler back now make some noise I do believe they've trapped us boys Fill the dirt back on the grave Ain't nothing good here being raised Look at the filthy mess we've made Fill the dirt back on the grave We cut the fruit, we took the tree We chiseled all the branches free We took more than we'd ever need We cut the fruit, we took the tree Darker than ever in the mine Shine a light, shine a light Holler back now make some noise I do believe they've trapped us boys Can't have no one not toe the line 'Round here it's always 'round midnight Can't have no brothers left behind Can't have no one not toe the line That ain't the cavalry we heard It's the rain that's crashing on the earth Tell our women and our children we ain't hurt But no it ain't the cavalry we heard Darker than ever in the mine Shine a light, shine a light Holler back now make some noise I do believe they've trapped us boys |
