Nothin' Lyrics


Hey mama, when you leave
Don't leave a thing behind
I don't want nothin'
I can't use nothin'Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them I'm fine
Not using nothin'Almost burned out my eyes
Threw my ears down to the floor
I didn't see nothin'
I didn't hear nothin'I stood there like a block of stone
Knowin' all I had to know
And nothin' more
Man, that's nothin'As brothers our troubles are
Locked in each others arms
And you better pray
They never find youYour back ain't strong enough
For burdens doublefold
They'd crush you down

Down into nothin'Being born is going blind
And buying down a thousand times
To echoes strung
On pure temptationSorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin'

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Townes Van Zandt (John Townes Van Zandt, born at Fort Worth, Texas, March 7, 1944 and died at Smyrna, Tennessee, January 1, 1997). He was a country and folk singer and poet. While alive, Van Zandt was labelled as a cult musician. Though he had a small and devoted fanbase, he never had a successful album or single, and even had difficulty keeping his recordings in print. Many of his songs, including "If I Needed You," "To Live Is To Fly," and "No Place to Fall" are considered standards of their genre. AllMusic has called him "one of the greatest country and folk artists of his generation."
