George Strait - The Only Thing I Have Left lyrics

Some people say I'm one of those guys the blessings of life over looked

Sometimes I feel like the tattered, torn pages of some old paperback book

All the places I've played and the money I've made, I've still got nothing to show

And the only thing I have left in the whole wide world is you

I gave it all I had every night for all these years

Pouring out my soul 'til it was gone

I spread myself so thin that I'm just barely hanging on

But tonight I'm with you, you can carry me through, just love me

'Cause the only thing I have left in the whole wide world is you

You put your whole life into something you love

But you never get that one big break

That'll take you out of the backstreet bar and put you on center stage

But a million tears and million beers have just about washed me up

I gave it all I had every night for all these years

Pouring out my soul till it was gone

I spread myself so thin that I'm just barely hanging on

But tonight I'm with you, you can carry me through, just love me

'Cause the only thing I have left in the whole wide world is you

The only thing I have left is you
