Nothing to Lose
She was taping her foot. Saying let's go.
Cig in her hand. Smoking it slow.
What do you do, when your lover’s in jail?
You look for another, until he makes bail.
Not looking for love, just something inside.
You have nothing to lose, when you’ve got nothing to hide.
Her hair, like a flag, leaves in the wind.
Never surrender, never give in.
What do you do, when your lovers away?
Look for another, roll in the hay.
Not looking for love, just someone near by.
You’ve got nothing to lose, when you’ve got nothing to hide.
Some quote the Bible, chapter and verse. Others are born, under a curse.
Some are late bloomers, never the first. Others find freedom, riding a hearse.
Not looking for handouts, just a free ride.
You’ve got nowhere go, you got nowhere to hide.
Not looking for love, late in the day. Paying a debt, that never gets paid.
Nothing is lost, and nothing is gained. Live in the shadows, numbing the pain.
Not looking for friends, just heat on the side.
You got nothing to lose, when you got nothing to hide.
Saw her today, standing in line.
She did not see me, I was standing behind.
Her cooper skin, was painfully thin.
Hair on her shoulders, the color of tin
I looked at her hand, she was nobody’s bride.
You have nothing to lose, when you have nothing to hide.
Try to remember, try to forget.
Try to stay loose, your nobody’s pet.
Some girls dream of washing machines.
Walking the isle and wearing a ring.
Not looking for love, you’ve already tried.
You’ve got no where to go, when you’ve already died.
Mothers chore, and daddy’s whore.
Musical chairs, always the floor.
Lost in the ocean, fighting the tide.
Sink to the bottom where loneliness dies.
You got nothing to die for, you got no where to hide.
What do you do when, you got northing to buy.
She was touching her hair, neon light glow.
Beer in her hand, drinking it slow.
What do you do when your lovers in jail?
You look for another, until he makes bai.l
Not looking for answers just want to get high.
Open the window and let yourself fly…
