Craig Morgan – This Ain’t Nothing He was standing in the rubble Of an old farmhouse outside Birmingham. When some on the scene Reporter stuck a camera In the face of that old man. He said, “Tell the folks, please mister, What are you gonna do Now that this twister Has taken all that’s dear to you.” The old man just smiled and said, “ Boy, let me tell you somethin’, This ain’t nothin’.” He said, “I lost my daddy when I was eight years old. That cave-in at the Kincaid Mine left a big ‘ol hole.” “And I lost my baby brother, My best friend and my left Hand in a no win situation, In a place called Vietnam.” “And last year I watched My loving wife, of fifty years Waste away and die. And I held her hand ‘til her heart Of gold stopped pumpin’.” “So, this ain’t nothin’.” He said, “I learned at an early age, There’s things that matter And there’s things that don’t.” “So if you’re waitin’ here For me to cry, I hate to Disappoint you boy, But I won’t.” Then he reached down in the rubble And picked up a photograph.

And I held her hand ‘til her heart Of gold stopped pumpin’.” “So, this ain’t nothin’.” He said, “This ain’t nothin’ time won’t erase. And this ain’t nothin’ money can’t replace.” He said, “ You sit and watch your lovin’ wife, Of fifty years fighting for her life then You hold her hand ‘til her heart Of gold stops pumpin’.” “Yeah boy, that’s somethin’.” “So, this ain’t nothin’.” “Oh, this ain’t nothin’.”
