Nothing to Show Lyrics

I grew up roaming the barren fields

Kicking up dust and old bones

I'd drift on down to the Chonko's pond

And kill some more time skipping stones

And I've got nothing to show

I moved out west from the Keystone State

Thought I could make it alone

Some leather-bound prayers and a few sad songs

A handful of ash and some smoke

And I've got nothing to show

Down in the valley

The water is raging

And I see I'm losing high ground

I start to wonder if I am worth saving

I wanted to make you so proud

But we're long down the road

And I've got nothing to show

I sobered up every now and then

Wanted the best for my own

Then I looked inside, saw a lonely kid

Still hoping that dad would come home

But I've got nothing to show

I've got nothing to show
