I know a man with nothing in his hands
Nothing but a rolling stone
He told me about when his house burnt down
And lost everything he owned
He lay asleep for six whole weeks
They were gonna ask his mother to choose
When he woke up with nothing he said a day is something
When you’ve got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose
Now I got a hole in my pocket
A hole in my shirt
A whole lot of troubles he said
But now the money it’s gone, well life carries on
And I miss it like a hole in the head
I know a woman with kids around her ankles
And a baby on her lap
She said one day her husband went to get a paper
And the motherfucker never came back
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise
Keeping wolf from the door
She said the wolf just a puppy and the doors double locked
So what you gotta worry me for?
Now he left a hole in my heart
A hole in a promise
A hole on the side of my bed
But now that he’s gone well life carries on
And I miss him like a hole in the head
Well sometimes you can’t change and you can’t choose
And sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose
Now we’ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah we’ve got holes in our lives
Well we’ve got holes, we’ve got holes but we carry on
Well we’ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah we’ve got holes in our lives
Well we’ve got holes, we’ve got holes but we carry on
Say we’ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah we’ve got holes in our lives
Well we’ve got holes, we’ve got holes but we carry on
Say we’ve got holes in our hearts
We’ve got holes in our lives
We’ve got holes, we’ve got holes but we carry on
Say we’ve got holes in our hearts
We’ve got holes in our lives
We’ve got holes, we’ve got holes but we carry on
Say we’ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah we’ve got holes in our lives
Well we’ve got holes, we’ve got holes but we carry on
