Nothing but the Whole Wide World Songtext
von Glen Campbell

Nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Nothing but the whole wide world to gain
Nothing, nothing
Got nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world to gain

Now I′m here on the blacktop, the sun in my eyes
Women and country on my mind
Both turned me out over the borderline
There are no more love lost and no more gains
No more digging holes or graves
Nothing to lose but rivets and chains
Got nothing but the whole wide world to gain

I was born in a stable, built like an ox
Down in the pastures, I learned how to walk
Mama, she raised me to sing, and I let 'em talk
And no rich man′s worth his weight in dust
They buried him down, same as they'll do us
God wants you busy, never giving up
He wants nothing but the whole wide world for us


Nothing but the whole wide world for us
Nothing, nothing
Nothing but the whole wide world for us
Nothing, nothing
He wants nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for us

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

I ain't got no money, I ain′t got no love
Never was too good at either of ′em
I'm here for adventure, whichever way it comes
What good is an angel that won′t catch up?
I'm free-falling now and I′m ready enough
I give my tears and I give my blood
But I give nothing but the whole wide world for one

Nothing but the whole wide world for one
Nothing, nothing
Nothing but the whole wide world for one
Nothing, nothing
I give nothing but the whole wide, whole wide world for one

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
