Lyrics Nothing Left to Lose - Bodh'aktan

Nothing Left to Lose

The week has just begun, let’s have a little fun
Let’s have a drink or two, I’ll lift a glass with you
They say that I’m a fool and I’ll drink my life away
But I’m a happy man, and this way I’m gonna stay
It’s better to be broke, you’ve nothing left to lose
For he’s a happy man who lives without a care
To laugh and drink and sing is what we always choose
It’s better to be drunk, there’s nothing can compare
The tax collector said, he’s going to sell me bed
But I’ll be laughing last, the ground is warm and dry
And if your wife complains, to her you must explain
That if you keep a’drinking she’ll be pretty by and by!
It’s better to be broke, you’ve nothing left to lose
For he’s a happy man who lives without a care
To laugh and drink and sing is what we always choose
It’s better to be drunk, there’s nothing can compare
And when the whistle blows, the reckoning will show
With nothing I arrived, and with nothing I will go
Who watches o’er our days, 'tis Heaven only knows…
I pray that God will take me where the whiskey flows
It’s better to be broke, you’ve nothing left to lose
For he’s a happy man who lives without a care
To laugh and drink and sing is what we always choose
It’s better to be drunk, there’s nothing can compare
Most of all
Well if your wife complains, to her you must explain
That if you keep a’drinking she’ll be pretty by and by!
