Steve Earle — Pocket Full of Rain

[Verse] 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 morning With a pocketful of rain [Verse] 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 [Verse] Talk about the devil and up he jump Down beside the levee on a hollow stump Shaking like a window girl in Amsterdam I don’t want to be no closer than I am To tell you he’s the devil Because I know all his names 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 A pocket full of rain A pocket full of rain
