I know a man with nothing in his hands
nothing but a rolling stone
He told me about when his house burnt down
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
