The Only Thing I Have Left Lyrics - George Strait

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 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; 

Lust l o v e me. 

'Cause the only thing 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 I have left 

In the whole wide world is you...
