Well, this old lonely, lonely street
Reminds me of a dream that I once had and then I lost my way
And them years, they just roll and they're takin' their toll
And I keep payin' the cost
Well, I'm not tryin' to please nobody but me
But can't you see I tow the line, religiously
Well, you won't be here for ever, so just hang on to your heart
And don't let them old demons tear you apart.

'Cause it's your world, boys and girls
It's your world 'til your life is through
If it was gone tomorrow you wouldn't have anything
It wouldn't be nothi-in' without you, hey, without you.

You can struggle and strive and you can handle your life
But they still want blood, yeah
So just stroll like that river and stick to your ground
A-just like this old mother earth
Well, I was born free and I'll prob'ly die young
But I'll leave some happy people with some good songs that I've sung
Well, you won't be here forever, so just hang on to your heart, yeah
And don't let them old demons tear you apart.

'Cause it's your world boys and girls
It's your world 'til your life is through
If it was gone tomorrow you wouldn't have anything
It wouldn't be nothin' without you, hey, without you.

Wellm it wouldn't be nothin', no nothin'
No, it wouldn't be nothin' without yall.
Well, it wouldn't be nothin', no nothin'
Well, it wouldn't be nothin' without you.
Well, it wouldn't be nothin', no nothin'
Well, it wouldn't be nothin' without you.
Well, it wouldn't be nothin', no it wouldn't be nothin'
No, no, no, nothin', it would be nothin' without you, yeah.
Well, it wouldn't be...
