Glen Campbell - Nothing But The Whole Wide World Lyrics






Nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world to gain

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

Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world to gain

Was born in a stable and built like an ox
Down in the pastures I learned how to walk
Mama, she raised me to sing and just let 'em talk
Said no rich man's worth his weight in dust
Bury him down same as they'll do us
God wants us busy, never giving up
He wants nothing but the whole wide world for us

Nothing but the whole wide world for us
Nothing, nothing
Well there's nothing but the whole wide world for us
Nothing, nothing
Well there's nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for us

We ain't got no money, can't get no love
Never was too good at either of 'em I'm here for adventure whichever way it comes
But what good is an angel that won't catch up
Free falling now and I'm ready enough
I give my tears and I give my blood
I give nothing but the whole wide world for one

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

    Nothing but the whole wide world to gain
    Nothing, nothing
    Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
    Nothing, nothing
    Got nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world to gain

    I'm here on the blacktop
    The sun in my eyes
    Women and country on my mind
    Both turn me out
    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

    Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
    Nothing but the whole wide world to gain
    Nothing, nothing
    Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain
    Nothing, nothing
    Got nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world to gain

    Was born in a stable and built like an ox
    Down in the pastures I learned how to walk
    Mama, she raised me to sing and just let 'em talk
    Said no rich man's worth his weight in dust
    Bury him down same as they'll do us
    God wants us busy, never giving up
    He wants nothing but the whole wide world for us

    Nothing but the whole wide world for us
    Nothing, nothing
    Well there's nothing but the whole wide world for us
    Nothing, nothing
    Well there's nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for us

    We ain't got no money, can't get no love
    Never was too good at either of 'em I'm here for adventure whichever way it comes
    But what good is an angel that won't catch up

    I give my tears and I give my blood
    I give nothing but the whole wide world for one

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

    Love the song. I remember seeing Glen, when I was about 21 in concert.  He was great.
