About the song
It's pretty much autobiographical, I was down but not out.
Lyrics
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE (BUT THE BLUES)

My Heart’s Already Broken
You’ve Taken Care Of That
You Left Me With The Hyundai
And Took The Cadillac
Got A Letter From Your Lawyer
Telling Me More Bad News
But Why Should I Worry
I’ve Got Nothing Left To Lose But The Blues

All The Money’s Gone
From The Checking Account
The Landlord’s At The Door
Says He’s Throwing Me Out
The Bills Keep Pilin’ Up
They’re Long Overdue
But I’m Not Upset ‘Cause
I’ve Got Nothing Left To Lose But The Blues

We All Have Our Troubles
We All Have Our Cross To Bear
But Lately I Feel Like I’ve Had More Than My Share

Repeat

I’ll Scrape Up A Few Bucks
Go Out On The Town
Got A Couple Dozen
Sorrows To Drown
If I Start Actin’ Foolish
Got The Perfect Excuse
It’s Easy To Do When
You’ve Got Nothing Left To Lose But The Blues
It’s Easy To Do When
You’ve Got Nothing Left To Lose But The Blues
And I’ve Got Nothing Left To Lose - But The Blues
