Nothing Tonight Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Yeah now ring in the bells, close out the register,
Wouldn′t find a thought if you opened my head.
I don't like the words, but I sure love a melody,
Oughta be asleep, but I′m not headed for my bed.

I don't even know how this whole thing got started.
We're already here, but we never departed.
Don′t want to be silent,
Don′t want to be quiet,
So I'm singing my songs about nothing tonight.
Just singing my songs about nothing tonight.

Yeah now checkin′ the mail, special delivery,
Maybe I won, but I really don't care.
Too many smiles to get bent out of shape,
A trip to the dumpster, and it′s not even there.


I don't even know how this whole thing got started.
We′re already here, but we never departed.
Don't want to be silent,
Don't want to be quiet,
So I′m singing my songs about nothing tonight.
Just singing my songs about nothing tonight.

I got nothing, it don′t bother me
I got nothing, so don't bother me.

Yeah now ring in the bells, close out the register,
Wouldn′t find a thought if you opened my head.
I don't like the words, but I sure love a melody,
Oughta be asleep, but I′m not headed for my bed.
I don't even know how this whole thing got started.
We′re already here, but we never departed.
Don't want to be silent,
Don't want to be quiet,
So I′m singing my songs about nothing tonight.
Just singing my songs about nothing tonight.
Don′t want to be silent,
Don't want to be quiet,
So I′m singing my songs about nothing tonight.
Just singing my songs about nothing tonight.
