[Verse 1]
I know a man with nothing in his hands
Nothing but a rolling stone
He told me about when his house burnt down
And 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"

[Chorus 1]
"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’s gone, life carries on
And I miss it like a hole in the head"
Woah, now, now

[Verse 2]
I know a woman with kids around her ankles
And a baby on her lap
She said one day her husband went to get a paper
And the motherfucker never came back
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise
'But keeping the wolf from the door!'
She said, "The wolf’s just a puppy and the door’s double locked
So why you gotta worry me for?"
[Chorus 2]
"Now he left a hole in my heart, a hole in a promise
A hole on the side of my bed
Oh, but now that he’s gone, well, life carries on
And I miss him like a hole in the head"

[Bridge]
Well sometimes you can’t change and you can’t choose
And, sometimes, it seems you gain less than you lose
Now we’ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah, we’ve got holes in our lives
Well, we’ve got holes
We’ve got holes, but we carry on

Well we’ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah, we’ve got holes in our lives
Well, we’ve got holes
We’ve got holes, but we carry on
Said, we’ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah, we’ve got holes in our lives
Well, we’ve got holes
We’ve got holes, but we carry on
Said, we’ve got holes in our hearts
We’ve got holes in our lives
We’ve got holes
We’ve got holes, but we carry on
Said, we’ve got holes in our hearts
We’ve got holes in our lives
We’ve got holes
We’ve got holes, but we carry on
Said, we’ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah, we’ve got holes in our lives
Well, we’ve got holes
We’ve got holes, but we carry on
