John Mellencamp - Empty Hands Lyrics
|
Empty Hands Lyricsmusician: John MellencampIn the shadows of the smokestacks Through the black snow, that lay on the land Walked home one winter morning With my live savings in my hand Maryanne, shes fixin up some breakfast Got the lights on, on the christmas tree Sittin there, lookin up at an angel With something dyin inside of me Grew up with great expectations Heard the promise and i knew the plan They say people get what they deserve But Lord, sometimes its much worse than that Maryanne, she takin in some laundry I got a part time job in a drive-in stand Oh Lord, what did I do To deserve these empty hands? CHORUS: Across the cities Across this land Through the valleys And across the sand Too many people standin in line Too many people with nothin planned Theres too many people with Empty hands Now Maryannes been cryinLord knows, I love her the best I can When my pride is bruised and broken she slips her hand into my empty hands Without hope, without love Youve got nothing but pain Just makes a man not give a dammn Thats no way for us to live Weve got to fill these empty hands CHORUS: Across the cities Across this land Through the valleys And across the sand Too many people standin in line Too many people with nothin planned Theres too many people with Empty hands John Mellencamp - Empty Hands Lyrics br> The Full Catasrophe Lyrics Your Life Is Now Lyrics |
