  • I know a man with nothing in his hands, nothing but a rolling stone
    He told me about when his house burnt down, he lost everything he owned
    He lay asleep for six hole weeks, they were gonna ask his mother to choose
    When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something
    When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose
    Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt, a whole lot of trouble, he said
    But now the money's gone, life carries on and I miss it like a hole in the head

    I know a woman with kids around her ankles an a baby on her lap
    She said one day her husband went to get a paper and the mother fucker never came back
    Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise, keeping the wolf from the door
    She said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked so why you gottaworry me for
    Now he left a hole in my heart a hole in a promise a hole on the side of my bed
    Oh 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
    Said 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

    Said 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

    Said 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
    Said 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. Writer/s: Michael David Rosenberg
