Nothing To Lose

(album: Insider - 1998)

As we ride up the mountain I can hear the young ones brag
Just how much they drank last night and all the little girls they've had
There's nothing that I'd like more than to teach humility
I'll leave these little bastards in the trees

As we fly down the mountain I can tell it will be close
The new kids have that hungry look my knees are feeling old
I can feel it getting squirrelly as I push for a little speed
I think about my Josephine and the money that we need

Last year a friend of mine hit a little tree
I keep on saying to myself "It's not gonna happen to me
Never." He never walked the same again
How long till my luck runs out?

No fear no doubts
I never used to worry about
All the little things that could go wrong
No fear no pain
I just have to ignore the brain
Just go on pretending I have nothing to lose

The hairpin turn I see my chance to slide right through the gap
One mistake we'll all be gone I never used to think of that
I hit the brakes and pull aside I feel the new kids sneer
But if they're smart they'll do the same thing in a couple years

Last year a friend of mine hit a little tree
I keep on saying to myself "It's not gonna happen to me
Never." He never walked the same again
How long till my luck runs out?

No fear no doubts
I never used to worry about
All the little things that could go wrong
No fear no brain
I just have to ignore the pain
Just go on pretending I have nothing to

No fear no doubts
I never used to worry about
All the little things that could go wrong
No fear no pain
I just have to ignore the brain
Just go on pretending I have nothing to lose
