Well this old lonely lonely street

Reminds me of a dream that I once had and then I lo-ost 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 de-emons 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 li-ife

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 de-emons tear you apart



'Cause it's your world boys and girls

It's your world 'til your life is throu-ough

If it was gone tomorrow you wouldn't have anything

It wouldn't be nothin' without you, hey, without you



Well it wouldn't be nothin', no-o no-othin'

No, it wouldn't be nothin' without yall

Well it wouldn't be nothin', no-o nothin'

Well it wouldn't be nothin' without you

Well it wouldn't be nothin', no-o no-othin'

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
