D
I'm here on the blacktop The sun in my eyes
D
Women and country on my mind
G
Bolting me out
                  D
Over the borderline

Now there's no more love loss and no more shame

No more digging holes or graves

Nothing to lose but rivets and chains

D
Was born in a stable and built like an ox
D
Down in the pastures I learned how to walk
G                                             D
Mama, she raised me to sing and just let 'em talk
G
Said no rich man's worth his weight in dust
D
Bury him down same as they'll do us
G
God wants us busy, never giving up

I'm here for adventure whichever way it comes
G
But what good is an angel that won't catch up

Free falling now and I'm ready enough
G
I give my tears and I give my blood
A                 
I give nothing but the whole wide world for one

D
Nothing but the whole wide world for one
D
nothing, nothing
