Some people say
I’m one of those guys
With blessings in life over looked
Sometimes I feel like the tatter torn pages
Of some old paperback book
All the places I’ve played and the money I’ve made
Still I’ve got nothing to show
And the only thing that I have left
In the whole wide world
Is you
You put your whole life into somethin’ you love
And you never get that one big break
Gotta take you out of the back street bars
And put you on center stage
But a million tears and a million beers
Have just about washed me up
And the only thing that I have left
In the whole wide world
Is you
CHORUS:
I gave it all I had
Every night for all these years
Pourin’ out my soul
Till it was gone
I spread myself so thin
And I’m just barely hangin’ on
But tonight I’m with you
And you can carry me through
Just lo—ve me
Cuz the only thing that I have left
In the whole wide world
Is you
