Some people say I'm one of those guys
With blessings in life overlooked
Sometimes I feel like the tatter torn pages
Of some old paperback book

All the places I've played and the money I've made
Still I've got 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
And you never get that one big break
That'll take you out of the backstreet bars
And put you on center stage

But a million tears and a 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
'Til it was gone

I spread myself so thin and I'm just barely hanging on
But tonight I'm with you and 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
'Til it was gone

I spread myself so thin and I'm just barely hanging on
But tonight I'm with you and you can carry me through
Just love me 'cause the only thing that I have left
In the whole wide world is you
Oh, is you
