Lyrics
Nothing to Lose
Driving through the desert
Red Ford pinned at 75
Gotta slowdown for gasoline
Fill up this tank of mine
Got nothing to prove
Nothing left to lose
New Mexico's in the distance
A dry wind stings my eye
Ain't no one riding shotgun
On this road where billy the kid died
Got nothing to prove
Nothing left to lose
Wheels are hot
I hope I can make them last
No matter truth or consequence
Can't run from the past
Got nothing to prove
Nothing left to lose
