Songtekst

I know a man with nothing in his hands
Nothing but a rolling stone
He told me 'bout when his house burnt down
He lost everything he owned
He lay asleep for six whole weeks
They we're 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
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
But 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 on
And I miss him like a hole in the head

Well sometimes you can’t change and you can’t choose
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

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, though we carry on
