The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't lose what I never had
You can't take what I ain't got
When I'm happy, you won't make me sad
Depending on you all
Well I'm not
Cause I started out with nothing
and I've still got most of it left
When I'm down I just get up
When I'm down well I stand up
Been down many times well you know it's true
Haven't had a red dime between me and you
Cause I started out with nothing
and I've still got most of it left (x3)
And if all fell apart today
I could just walk
Get on down the street
I ain't worried where I'm going to sleep
I can always find some food to eat
Cause I started out with nothing
and I've still got most of it left (x3)
