[Chorus 1]
Nothing to lose – Now I can really break it
Nothing to lose – Now I don't have to fake it
If you can't use – Forget it then I don't need it
Nothing to lose – If it ain't hot I'll leave it

[Verse 1]
Nothing to show, no-one to stop me, I'm going away
I'm kicking my heels, rolling the wheels and I'm leaving today
(Yeah, yeah...)

[Chorus 2]
Nothing to lose – I've got to run for my life
Nothing to lose – Shoot out and shine those search lights
Nothing to lose – I'm ready to cross that border line
Nothing to lose – I'm going to make it stick, ah

[Verse 2]
Nothing to show, no-one to stop me, I'm going away
I'm kicking my heels, rolling the wheels and I'm leaving today
(Yeah, yeah...)

[Violin Solo]

[Chorus 3]
Nothing to lose – I gotta run for my life
Nothing to lose – Shoot out and shine those search lights
Nothing to lose – I'm ready to cross that border line
Nothing to lose – And I'm going to make it stick this time
