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
