Steve Earle - Pocket Full of Rain lyrics

Boys out on the corner The way they were before But me I don’t go down there With my money any more Yeah I can still remember when It used to k** the pain But I woke up every mornin’ With a pocket full 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 sponsored links 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 And he’ll look you in the eye and lie And promise anything Leave you cold and empty like A pocket full of rain
