Ain't Got Nothing
Lynda Wittig Dawson (Grandma Bea Music, BMI)
From the CD: On the Short Rows by
The Kickin Grass Band
When the sun went down and the cows came in
Daddy’d come round and he’d tuck me in
He’d sit on the bed, flash me a grin, and with a tired voice he’d
say
It don’t take riches to make a man
It takes a good woman with a loving hand
And your mama’s in the kitchen frying bread on the pan, so you know
we’ll be okay
You ain’t got nothing if you ain’t got love
But love’s the something we’ve got the most of
You can buy the bank, but when push comes to shove
You ain’t got nothing if you ain’t got love
When I grew up tall and I left the ranch
Kissed mama goodbye and she took my hand, said
Girl I know you’ve got big plans but remember what I say
It don’t take riches to make your name
It takes a good family, that’s simple and plain
And if you don’t get caught up in playing the game I know you’ll be
okay
You ain’t got nothing if you ain’t got love…
When the sun comes up I head into town
Watch all the people making their rounds
They’ve got so much of nothing it’s dragging ‘em down, but it don’t
have to be that way
Cause you don’t need riches to make it in life
I’ve got my loving kids, I’m a loving wife
And no matter what happens we’ll make it all right, ‘cause you know
what they say
You ain’t got nothing if you ain’t got love… |
