If You Ain't Got Nothing

(Red Lane - Dan Wilson)



If you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose

There ain't no pressure when you're singin' these low down blues

Smokin' that git down bummin' them red men chews

If you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose.



Daddy was a free loader workin' for the railroad line

I grew up listenin' to buddy can you spare a dime

Oh, situation and the world's inflation and the bomb could be bad news

But when you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose.



If you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose

There ain't no pressure when you're singin' these low down blues

Smokin' that git down bummin' them red men chews

If you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose.

I used to work my fingers to the bone

I had everything that me and the bank could own

But a sweaty blue collar and a deflated dollar ain't no way to pay your dues

Well, if you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose.



If you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose

There ain't no pressure when you're singin' these low down blues

Smokin' that git down bummin' them red men chews

If you ain't got nothin' you ain't got nothin' to lose.
