gene watson - next to nothin' lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a window, by the window, there’s a plant
next to the plant sits my calico cat
close to the cat, there’s a sofa where i lay
life stands still while the hours tick away
right by the sofa, there’s a phone that never rings
next to the phone, there’s my bird that never sings
above the bird, there’s a picture on the wall
one of me and you, oh, why don’t you call?

[chorus]
i’m next to nothing when i’m not next to you
anything that’s close to me is next to lonesome too
paint the picture every shade of blue
i’m next to nothing when i’m not next to you

[verse 2]
there’s a hallway, down the hallway, there’s a door
behind the door’s a bed where i don’t sleep no more
next to the bed, there’s a table and a note
on the note are the hurting words you wrote
next to “i’m sorry”, you wrote the words “goodbye”
next thing i felt were the tears in my eyes

[chorus]
i’m next to nothing when i’m not next to you
anything that’s close to me is next to lonesome too
paint the picture every shade of blue
i’m next to nothing when i’m not next to you
[mandolin solo]

[bridge]
there’s a window, by the window, there’s a plant
next to the plant sits my calico cat
close to the cat, there’s a sofa where i lay
life stands still while the hours tick away
