lyrics

Nothin’ But the Ground

Ain’t nothin’ wrong, nothin’ but a thing
Ain’t nothin’ but a song when the day is long make me wanna sing
Ain’t nothin’ like the sound of the smack of fallin’ down
Ain’t nothin’ but the ground always got my back when trouble comes around.

Ain’t nothin’ for the sky to up and fall out of the blue.
Ain’t nothin’ for my eye to get all caught up on you.
Ain’t nothin’ but the birds, ain’t nothin’ but the bees…
Ain’t nothin’ but the truth when you get caught down on your knees.

Ain’t nothin’ wrong, nothin’ but a thing
Ain’t nothin’ but a song when the day is long make me wanna sing
Ain’t nothin’ like the sound of the smack of fallin’ down
Ain’t nothin’ but the ground always got my back when trouble comes around.

Ain’t nothin’ for the wind to whip right in and steal away your friends.
Ain’t nothin’ for the sun (to) make it look all fun, bring ‘em back again.
Ain’t nothin’ but a rope look like a ray of hope when you’re sinkin’ in the sand.
Ain’t nothin’ but a noose cut loose to put the slack back in your hands.

Ain’t nothin’ wrong, nothin’ but a thing
Ain’t nothin’ but a song when the day is long make me wanna sing
Ain’t nothin’ like the sound of the smack of fallin’ down
Ain’t nothin’ but the ground always got my back when trouble comes around.
