I left my home
in the sweet sunshine
Riding in the cold rain on a November night
I opened the door
to a run down room
That's when it hit me
I've got nothing to
lose Nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose But everything
to gain
Everything to gain Without a friend around
I walk these lonely
streets
Looking out for a good time
Somewhere the rest
might be I stumbled into a nightclub where this old
man played the blues
Punched me right in the face when he sang
Boy you've got nothing to
lose Nothing to lose
Boy you've got nothing to lose You've got
everything to gain
Here I am on the bandstand I found my way to the spotlight
A pretty girl on the dance floor She's watching me all night
She spoke to me with blue
eyes And her message came through
And after the show she grabbed me by
the hand Said we've got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose If
you start from nowhere then you've got
Every role to choose I went my own way like we all should do
But we've got nothing to lose We've got everything to gain
