Holes

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
