Lucinda Williams - Nothin' lyrics

rate me

Hey mama, when you leave don't leave a thing behind

I don't want nothin', I can't use nothin'

Take care into the hall and if you see my friends

Tell 'em I'm fine, not usin' nothin'

Almost burned out my eyes, threw my ears down to the floor

I didn't see nothin', I didn't hear nothin'

Stood there like a block of stone knowin' all I had to know

And nothin' more, man that's nothin'

As brothers our troubles are locked in each others arms

And you better pray that they never find you

'Cause your back ain't strong enough for burdens double fold

They'd crush you down, down into nothin'

Bein' born is goin' blind and bowin' down a thousand times

To echoes strung on pure temptation

Sorrow and solitude these are the precious things

And the only words that are worth rememberin'
