Nothing in This World
Born into this world to a small, unequipped girl
She made her final cries before I breathed
Now, my daddy, I don't know
But I've heard he's found a home
There is nothing in this world I'm meant to keep
Bounced from home to home
Like a puppy not condoned
Climbed over every fence that I could see
I never made a stand
'Cause I had no roots to plant
There is nothing in this world I'm meant to keep
An abrupt change of plans
A promise and a hand
I married the only girl I thought I'd need
But the winters got too hard
And being poor left us both scarred
There is nothing in this world I'm meant to keep
Though you know I love you so
That's a risk I can't condone
You deserve to be treated like a queen
Since he'll love you all his life
Have him take you for his wife
There is nothing in this world I'm meant to keep
There is nothing in this world I'm meant to keep
