"The Only Thing I Have Left" lyrics

The Only Thing I Have Left

Some people say
I'm one of those guys
The blessings of life overlooked
Sometimes I feel
Like the tattered, torn pages
Of some old paperback book

All the places I've played
And the money I've made
I still have nothing to show
And the only thing
That I have left
In the whole wide world
Is you

You put your whole life
Into something you love
But you never get that one big break
That'll take you out
Of the backstreet bar
And put you on center stage

But a million tears
And million beers
Have just about washed me up
And the only thing
That I have left
In the whole wide world
Is you

I gave it all I had
Every night for all these years
Pouring out my soul
Till it was gone

I spread myself so thin
That I'm just barely hanging on
But tonight I'm with you
You can carry me through
Just love me

Cause the only thing
That I have left
In the whole wide world
Is you

I gave it all I had
Every night for all these years
Pouring out my soul
Till it was gone

I spread myself so thin
That I'm just barely hanging on
But tonight I'm with you
You can carry me through
Just love me

Cause the only thing
That I have left
In the whole wide world
Is you
