If You Ain't Got Nothing

(album: Ain't Got Nothin' To Lose - 1982)

If you ain't got nothing you ain't got nothing to lose
There ain't no pressure when you're singing these low down blues
Smoking that git down bumming them red men chews
If you ain't got nothing you ain't got nothing to lose.

Daddy was a free loader working for the railroad line
I grew up listening 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 nothing you ain't got nothing to lose.

If you ain't got nothing you ain't got nothing to lose
There ain't no pressure when you're singing these low down blues
Smoking that git down bumming them red men chews
If you ain't got nothing you ain't got nothing 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 nothing you ain't got nothing to lose.

If you ain't got nothing you ain't got nothing to lose
There ain't no pressure when you're singing these low down blues
Smoking that git down bumming them red men chews
If you ain't got nothing you ain't got nothing to lose.

If you ain't got nothing you ain't got nothing to lose...
