Nothing To Nobody - Robben Ford

I’m a father to my children

I’m a husband to my wife

Seems I been something to somebody

Every day of my life

This is part of a master plan

It don’t do much to preserve a man

I’d like to see

What it feels like to be

Nothin' to nobody

I’m a keeper to my brother

I’m my mama’s fair haired boy

People, I would rather be

Nobody’s pride and joy

No man is an island so they say

But if I could go there for just one day

I’d like to see

What it feels like to be

Nothin' to nobody

Free as a bird

Flyin' south for the winter

By the time they miss me I’ll be long gone

For some people life is just a garden

They pick and choose for themselves

For me life can be the burdens

I have to carry for someone else

I’m top dog at my job

I do more than others can

The boss likes to tell me

I’m his right hand man

The preacher on Sunday

Tells me I’m just another child of God

Lord, if you’re there and if you care

Could you see fit to answer my prayer

I’d like to see

What it feels like to be

Nothin' to nobody
