George Strait Lyrics
"The Only Thing I Have Left"

(Clay Blaker)

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 made,
I've still have nothin' to show.
And 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.
And the only thing that I have left
In the whole wide world is you.

Chorus:
I gave it all I had every night for all these years,
Pourin' out my soul 'til it was gone.
I spread myself so thin that I'm just barely hangin' on.
But tonight I'm with you, you can carry me through;
Just l o v e me.
'Cause the only thing that I have left
In the whole wide world is you.

Chorus:
I gave it all I had every night for all these years,
Pourin' out my soul till it was gone.
I spread myself so thin that I'm just barely hangin' on.
But tonight I'm with you, you can carry me through;
Just l o v e me.
'Cause the only thing that I have left
In the whole wide world is you...
