The Hands I Got

Hi, hope you enjoy this song. Get to know me here: Follow me on Instagram here: LYRICS V1 My neighbor gives me alcohol Like bottles of wine We’ll share a drink or two Talk about our lives He puts out his cigarette Looks off and smiles Says “the day is so tiresome So i sleep well at night” he said “I raised my kids even though they weren’t my blood I have played my hand with the hands I got Here” V2 The lady who lives upstairs leaves her door cracked welcomes the small parade Of 2 or 3 stray cats And she smokes the pain away hides from herself But I see it in her eyes She’s been through many hells She said “I moved around a lot Can’t wait till I go home Cause I’ve wrung enough with the hands I got Here” V3 Sometimes I disappear Cause it’s all just too much The crowds and open space The indifference and love then the teapot will scream at me And I’ll harmonize along Welcome the early day Hope I don’t get it wrong Because I swore to myself That my kids won’t be me So I’ll hold their hands with the hands I got Here I will play my hand with the hands I got here #singersongwriter #folkmusic #acousticsongs
