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 whole weeks they were gonna ask his mother to choose   When he woke up with nothing he said I’ll tell you somethin   when you’ve 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!                (x4)   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 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 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 oh now that he’s gone well life carries 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 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
