Lyrics

[Verse 1] They won't have me, but I love this place The rural life is broken and the farmlands gone to chaff My hands are idle and my mind needs rest The toil of the decent and the sleep of the best [Verse 2] I sit in diners with all the old men And they, they talk of work 'cause it's all they ever did They gave their hearts to Jesus and got serious And they gave up their drinking and they worked for this— [Pre-Chorus] Nothing, nothing [Chorus] And it's all this love to offer, and all this love to waste All this love to offer and all this love to waste [Verse 3] Lame dog on the highway where the old road used to be Now you know what divides us Is just a difference someone made Some got tired of trying, some were just too scared to stay But we gave ourselves to nothing and we let 'em have their day [Bridge] Now who's gonna do the planting? And who's gonna pray for rain? And who's gonna keep the farmland From the subdivision man? [Pre-Chorus] Nothing, nothing Nothing, nothing [Chorus] And it's all this love to offer, and all this love to waste
