Lyrics
Better off with nothin
copyright 2011 Bill Douglass
You'll end up with nothin - but a bunch of dreams in your head
If you don't sell yourself to someone- to get youself ahead...
what counts is what you get in this world - so remember its okay
To trade in your heart for a house a car, a 401k
That's what the people told me where I come from
no one ever told me that...
Chorus:
I'd be better off with nothin... to be alive and free
Instead of living somewhere - in a world where I can't breath(dream)
Better off for leavin - all the places I have known
Better being free and - Better off with nothin - on my own
Vs3
Back where - I'm from nobody knows The value of a dream
the measure of who you are - is a line on a balance sheet
and it alright if your goin nowhere - if you're in a brand new car
but it will never feel right - if that ain't who you are
that's what no one ever told me... where I'm from
and no one ever told me
Bridge:
Cause away from there the good times - come back to me
Somethin in the air when I was there I couldn't see
After 20 years of going nowhere
finally figured out --if I'm ever gonna leave
I better take another route
