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
