Started Out With Nothing Songtext
von Seasick Steve

The song really ′bout nothing, you know?
That's exactly what it′s about, kinda nothing

I can't lose what I never had
You can't take what I ain′t got
When I′m happy, you won't make me sad
Depending on you all, well, I′m not

'Cause I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left
Let′s do

When I'm down, I just get up
When I′m down, well, I stand up
Been down many times, well, you know it's true
I haven't had a red dime between me and you

′Cause I started out with nothing
And still got most of it left
′Cause I started out with nothing
And still got most of it left
Yes, I started out with nothing
And still got most of it left


Okay now eagle or whippoorwill
Mm, one more time
Oh, play the guitar now
Yeah, I like it

Well, I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left (yeah, yeah, oh lord)
Yes, I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left

If it all fell apart today
I could just a-walk (walk)
Get on down the street (yeah)
I ain't worried (worried) where I′m gonna sleep (where I'm gonna sleep)
I can always find some food to eat

′Cause I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left
Well, I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left

Most of it left
Got most of it left (yes, I do)
Most of it left
Because I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left
Mm-mm-mm
