"Nothing To Lose" lyrics

"Nothing To Lose"

Walkin' on the rails
The outskirts of town
I got one more cigarette
And I burn it down

The freight no longer runs
The gin shut down
I throw caution to the wind
But there's no one around

Lord the highway is screamin' but the truckers never stop
Their bound for Amarillo or California or Little Rock
I guess I'll keep on movin', but it's a hard thing to choose
'Cause I got nothin' else to gain and I got nothin' to lose

I can see the lights of Lubbock
Lord how they shine
Oh the trains down there
Their always on time

If I could catch one headed south
Maybe toward the coast
Then I'd jump off down in Austin-town
Walk down the river roads

Lord the highway is screamin' but the truckers never stop
Their bound for Amarillo or California or Little Rock
I guess I'll keep on movin', but it's a hard thing to choose
'Cause I got nothin' else to gain and I got nothin' to lose
