Nothin' To Nobody Lyrics - Soul On Ten - Robben Ford

I'm a father to my children 

I'm a husband to my wife 

Seems I been something to somebody 

Every day of my life 

This is part of the master plan 

It don't do much to preserve a man 

And I'd like to see what it feels like to be 

Nothin' to nobody, nothin' to nobody 

I'm a keeper to my brother 

I'm my mama's fair haired boy 

But you know people, I would rather be 

Nobody's pride and joy 

No man is an island so they say 

But if I could go there for just one day 

Yeah, I'd like to see what it feels like to be 

Nothin' to nobody, nothin' to nobody 

I wanna be free as a bird 

Flyin' south for the winter 

And by the time they miss me 

I'll be long gone, yeah, long gone 

For some people life is just a garden 

You know it seems like they can just 

Pick and choose for themselves 

For me life is just the burdens 

That I have to carry for someone else 

I'm top dog at my job 

I do more than others can 

The boss likes to tell me 

I'm his right hand man, yeah 

The preacher on Sunday 

He tells me I'm just another child of God 

Lord, if You're there and if You care 

Hey, can You see fit, yeah, to answer my prayer? 

'Cause I wanna see what it feels like to be 

Nothin' to nobody, nothin' to nobody 

Free as a bird, ooh, nothin' to nobody
