The world don't owe me nothing though I always want it to The world don't owe me happy, the world don't owe me a love like you The world don't owe me nothing even though I'm on my knees Not the things I took for granted Not the things I thought I got for free But I will lay down my troubles on the ground in front of you And play, let me play just one more song That's my rescue The world don't owe me flowers even though I planted seeds The world don't owe me sunshine, the world don't owe me what I need The world don't owe me a reason for when the night's too long The world don't owe me nothing I don't understand all that's gone wrong But I will lay down my troubles on the ground in front of you And play, let me play just one more song That's my rescue The world don't owe me a highway, don't owe me a train The world don't owe me an easy way out Here it comes again another kind of pain And I will lay down my troubles on the ground in front of you And play, let me play just one more song That's my rescue My rescue
