Holes

I know a man with nothing in his hands

Nothing but a rolling stone

He told me 'bout when his house burnt down

And 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 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 is gone

Life carries on

And I miss it like a hole in the head, oh now

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 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 it 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

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 got holes

But we carry on now

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
