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 'em I'm fine Not usin' nothin' Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' Stood there like a block of stone Knowin' all I had to know And nothin' more But, man, that's nothin' As brothers our troubles are Locked in each others arms And you better pray That they never find you 'Cause your back ain't strong enough For burdens doublefold They'd crush you down Down into nothin' Bein' born is goin' blind And bowin' down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That're worth rememberin'
