Текст песни
You ve got nothing but pain, on the christmas tree
sittin there lookin up at an angel
she slips her hand into my empty hands
With something dyin inside of me grew up with great expectations, through the valleys
Through the black snow that lay on the land, without hope Hands, and across the sand
sittin there lookin up at an angel
through the black snow that lay on the land
Sittin there lookin up at an angel, sittin there lookin up at an angel
When my pride is bruised and broken, across the cities
what did i do to deserve these empty hands
Now maryanne s been cryin, without love Mellencamp, with something dyin inside of me grew up with great expectations
with something dyin inside of me grew up with great expectations
Too many people with nothin planned, walked home one winter morning
Through the valleys, heard the promise and i knew the plan
Across the cities, to many people standin in line
We ve got to fill these empty hands, there s too many people with empty hands Mellencamp, without love
sometimes it s much worse than that
they say people get what they deserve
too many people with nothin planned
With something dyin inside of me grew up with great expectations, across the cities
across this land
Too many people with nothin planned, sometimes it s much worse than that Hands, she s fixin up some breakfast
got the lights on
that s no way for us to live
With something dyin inside of me grew up with great expectations, across this land
She s fixin up some breakfast, to many people standin in line Empty, to many people standin in line
I got a part-time job at a drive-in stand, with something dyin inside of me grew up with great expectations
there s too many people with empty hands
when my pride is bruised and broken
Maryanne she s takin in some laundry, and across the sand
lord knows i love her the best i can
across this land
across the cities
Got the lights on, without hope
Heard the promise and i knew the plan, sittin there lookin up at an angel, she slips her hand into my empty hands
lord knows i love her the best i can
With something dyin inside of me grew up with great expectations, got the lights on, maryanne she s takin in some laundry
when my pride is bruised and broken
Lord knows i love her the best i can, you ve got nothing but pain
She slips her hand into my empty hands, we ve got to fill these empty hands
What did i do to deserve these empty hands, lord knows i love her the best i can
Just makes a man not give a damn, and across the sand
what did i do to deserve these empty hands
Lord knows i love her the best i can, lord knows i love her the best i can
Heard the promise and i knew the plan, across the cities
she s fixin up some breakfast
in the shadows of the smokestacks
Now maryanne s been cryin, i got a part-time job at a drive-in stand
And across the sand, across the cities
To many people standin in line, what did i do to deserve these empty hands Mellencamp, sittin there lookin up at an angel
across this land
Now maryanne s been cryin, sometimes it s much worse than that, to many people standin in line
There s too many people with empty hands, there s too many people with empty hands
Walked home one winter morning, i got a part-time job at a drive-in stand
She s fixin up some breakfast, lord knows i love her the best i can
