Nothing Lyrics

Little boy looking before me

With big brown fascinated eyes

Stand if you can for a minute

And let me give you some advice

Always be good to your mama

Go to school and get that degree

Stay away from banjos, harps, fiddles and guitars

And don't end up like me

'Cause I've been

Hitchhiking cars all over this country

I've been

Hopping trains

From town to town

I've been

Living on luck and I've been living on Nothing

And Nothing is just what I've found

Nothing is just what I've found

Say "how' ya doing, yes I'm fine sir, and thank you"

Hide your pain behind that pleasant smile

Have all your fun on the weekend

Buy new shoes and walk with them in style

Work your job with dignity in silence

Keep your opinions between yourself and your friends

Save all your tears for your pillow

Then get up, and do it all again

'Cause I've been

Hitchhiking cars all over this country

I've been

Hopping trains

From town to town

I've been

Living on luck and I've been living on Nothing

And Nothing is just what I've found

Nothing is just what I've found

This song is for the ordinary people

Don't let your work ever get you down

It's you who puts the food up on the table

It's you who keeps the world spinning 'round

So thank you for your quarters and your dollars

I know that you work hard for them its true

But I have been too long out on the highway

And I could never, never, live like you

'Cause I've been

Hitchhiking cars all over this country

I've been

Hopping trains

From town to town

I've been

Living on luck and I've been living on Nothing

And Nothing is just what I've found

Nothing is just what I've found
