Ain't Nothing

I came from the north with a note in my hand
Two shoes and a bag and a quiet man
In love with his home, but there's nothing there
On his way to a new anywhere

And there ain't nothing I can conceive
That even comes close to bein so mean
But that ain't nothing that I can explain
That girl she went straight for the jugular vein

On down the road, on down the street
With all of the bugles calling retreat
I don't think I'm ready to give up today
But I think that I might do it anyway

And there ain't nothing this heart can contain
Despite the best efforts of a noble brain
And there ain't nothing noone can say
That can't be solved just by changing your name

I think of the time I was in 2nd grade
I fell through the ice the pond had made
I'm not sure quite why that comes to mind now
Anyhow

Now I know there ain't nothing that's worth waiting for
And I swear to god I won't wait anymore
And there ain't nothing I can do to atone
But goddamn you know I hate feeling alone

I came from the north with a note in my hand
Two shoes and a bag and an expired man
