"I Got Plenty Of Nothin'" lyrics
"I Got Plenty Of Nothin'"
I got no lock on my door, that's the way to be
They can steal the rug from my floor
That's okay with me
'Cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies
They're all free
Oh, I got plenty of nothing, and nothing's plenty for me
I got no car, I got no mule, I got no misery!
The folks with plenty of plenty
They got a lock on their door
Afraid somebody is a-going to rob 'em
While they're out there making more
What for?
I got no lock on my door
That's the way to be
They can steal the rug from my floor
That's okay with me
'Cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies
Are all free
So, I got plenty of nothing, and nothing's plenty for me
I got the sun, I got the moon, I got the deep blue sea
The folks with plenty of plenty
Oh, they got to pray all the day, hey!
Seems with plenty, you sure got to worry
How to keep the devil away
Keep them away
Oh, I'm never afraid about hell, 'til my time arrives
Never worry, never worry, long as I'm well
Never one to strive to be good, to be bad
What the hell, I'm just glad I'm alive!
Oh, I got plenty of nothing, and nothing is plenty for me
Got my man, got my love, and I... I got my song!

Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength to stand...
Debby Boone - "You Light Up My Life" So many nights
I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone
To sing me his song
So many dreams

Alone in the dark

And you
Light up my life
You give me...

A lot of things that I'd like to be

It's just one round I've...

Carole King - "Up On The Roof" When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof it's peaceful...
