Lyrics:

The song really 'bout nothing, you know?
That's exactly what it's about, kinda nothing

I can't lose what I never had
You can't take what I ain't got
When I'm happy, you won't make me sad
Depending on you all, well, I'm not
'Cause I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left
Let's do
When I'm down, I just get up
When I'm down, well, I stand up
Been down many times, well, you know it's true
I haven't had a red dime between me and you
'Cause I started out with nothing
And still got most of it left
'Cause I started out with nothing
And still got most of it left
Yes, I started out with nothing
And still got most of it left
Okay now eagle or whippoorwill
Mm, one more time
Oh, play the guitar now
Yeah, I like it
Well, I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left (yeah, yeah, oh lord)
Yes, I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left
If it all fell apart today
I could just a-walk (walk)
Get on down the street (yeah)
I ain't worried (worried) where I'm gonna sleep (where I'm gonna sleep)
I can always find some food to eat
'Cause I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left
Well, I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left
Most of it left
Got most of it left (yes, I do)
Most of it left
Because I started out with nothing
And I still got most of it left
Mm-mm-mm
