Townes Van Zandt
Nothin’
[Verse 1]
Hey mama, when you leave
Don't leave a thing behind
I don't want nothin'
I can't use nothin'
Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them I'm fine
Not using nothin'

[Verse 2]
Being born is going blind
And buying down a thousand times
To echoes strung
On pure temptation
Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin'

[Verse 3]
Hey mama, when you leave
Don't leave a thing behind
'Cause I don't want nothin'
No I can't use nothin'
Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them I'm fine
Not using nothin'
