Lyrics
I Got Nothing - © 2019 Terry Sorfleet
Verse 1
Could I borrow a dollar from you
I'll repay it in a week or two
Just as soon as I get back on my feet
My boots have seen better days
But they walked me out of my drunken haze
I'm sober now and I got those demons beat
Chorus
But I got nothing, No one I cared for
I got nothing, I had yesterday
I got nothing, No one who cares for me
My world as I knew it, Crumbled away
Verse 2
Could I borrow a dollar or two
A short term loan just to see me through
I need a bite to help me on my way
My drinking caused the tears and pain
I lost it all so I'll start again
Now loneliness is the price I have to pay
Chorus
'Cos I got nothing, No one I cared for
I got nothing, I had yesterday
I got nothing, No one who cares for me
My world as I knew it
And those who passed through it
I really blew it
There's no key to undo it,
crumbled away
Chorus
I got nothing, No one who cares for me
My world as I knew it, Crumbled away
Outro
Could I borrow a dollar or two
A short term loan just to see me through
I need a DRINK to help me find my way
