Nothing To Lose - Live

Lyrics

Well she had on her mama's dress
 It was quilted, white, and freshly pressed
 She looked like the Queen of Appalachia
 We threw everything we had
 In the back of my daddy's Cadillac
 And dared the whole world to catch us
 Got a full tank of gas and a bottle of booze
 A pocket full of cash, nothin' to lose
 When we pulled out of her daddy's place
 A smile crept 'cross her face
 She said, "Are we really gonna do this?"
 That's when we both realized
 As we were leavin' all the bad behind
 And we started shoutin' broken "Hallelujahs"
 Come on, baby, take my hand
 'Cause we're headin' on to the promised land
 ♪
 ♪
 So take it easy, baby
 On this heart of mine
 If we play our cards right
 We just might make it outta here
 Well the car was black, a '68
 With a 429 fast enough to make
 Them telephone poles look like fences
 The motor howls around the clock
 And the streetlights fight us every single block
 From here all the way to Memphis
 We're headin' out, anywhere but here
 And everything we know is in the rearview mirror
 Well the wind sets her hair to dancin'
 Occasionally giving glances
 On her face, all freckles and sunburn
 With a smile you won't soon forget
 To the way she lights her cigarettes
 She's a modern-day Audrey Hepburn
 Got her daddy's temper and her mama's eyes
 The world ahead of us, and her by my side
 ♪
 So take it easy, baby
 On this heart of mine
 If we play our cards right, baby
 We just might make it outta here alive
 Ay
 ♪
 There's a Red Collar song on the radio
 I think it's used guitars, but I don't know
 'Cause the speaker's busted
 As she put her hand in mine
 And her fingers traced a tattoo line
 And said, "You're the only boy I've ever trusted"
 Got a full tank of gas and a bottle of booze
 A pocket full of cash, and nothin' to lose
 ♪
 It's really fuckin' nice to be home, I can tell you that
