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

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

And 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

If you ain't got nothin'

You ain't got nothin' to lose
