NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

I'm staring down the ceiling of another cheap motel
Running from the heartache left by another ner'do well
I am travelling light this time I had no memories to pack
I can't see straight but I ain't blind and my dreams are still intact


I've been following white lines through amber waves of grain
And yesterday I found myself cryin? in blue Kentucky rain
Love has been illusive and my heart is growing weak
Still I know the stars will lead me to the happiness I seek

Chorus
I'm chasing down the wind in search of higher ground
To protect my fragile dreams from this deluge
This flood of lonely tears ain't deep enough to make me drown
I can only win 'cause I've nothing left to lose

Last time I had the strength to smile I was on a mountain pass
I could see the twinkling city lights but they were just outside my grasp
There's nothing left but movin' on I've come too far to stop
So put a quarter in the jukebox and we'll dance until we drop

Chorus
I'm chasing down the wind in search of higher ground
To protect my fragile dreams from this deluge
This flood of lonely tears ain't deep enough to make me drown
I can only win 'cause I've nothing left to lose

Saturday has come and gone and I'm still lying in my bed
I guess I drank a lot last night there's a throbbing in my head
This life will be the death of me I can't seem to get a break
But There ain't no grass beneath my feet and I'll run for running's sake


So I'm staring down the ceiling of another cheap motel
And if you meet me on the street I'll say I'm doing well
Love has been illusive and my heart is growing weak
But I know the stars will lead me to the happiness I seek


Chorus
I'm chasing down the wind in search of higher ground
To protect my fragile dreams from this deluge
This flood of lonely tears ain't deep enough to make me drown
I can only win 'cause I've nothing left to lose
