pocket full of rain
Boys out on the corner The way they were before But me I don't go down there With my money anymore Yeah I can still remember when It used to kill the pain But I woke up every mornin' With a pocketful of rain Ain't like it's been easy I been up and down And lately I can't seem to keep My chin up off the ground But I'd rather eat a pound of dirt than Taste that taste again And a world of hurt is better than A pocket full of rain Talk about the devil and up he jump Down beside the levee on a hollow stump Shakin' like a window girl in amsterdam I don't wanna be no closer than I am To tell you he's the devil 'Cause I know all his names And I know all his faces well He's the devil just the same He'll look you in the eye and lie And promise anything Leave you cold and empty as A pocket full of rain
