Pocket Full of Nothing Lyrics

I got a pocket full of nothin' and

A head full of dreams and

A passionate heart with

Two left feet

Clap to the rhythm

Just a little offbeat and

Though I tried to play it straight

No, it couldn't be me

Suckin' on cigarettes like candy canes

I'm turnin' off Broad onto West Main

I gotta catch the light to make the train

But I can't see past the pouring rain

Oh, Hail Mary — goin' anyway

"Where ya goin'?" — goin' crazy

But I might just go insane, oh my

I got a pocket full of nothin' and

A head full of dreams and

A passionate heart with

Two left feet

Clap to the rhythm

Just a little offbeat and

Though I tried to play it straight

No, it couldn't be me

Head on the door

Feet to the floor

Starin' at the carpet

'Til I can't no more

Life rolls by on the countryside

Babe, we're in for a hell of a ride

Fourteen hours left to go

But at least I'm finally on the road

I got a pocket full of nothin' and

A head full of dreams and

A passionate heart with

Two left feet

Clap to the rhythm

Just a little offbeat and

Though I tried to play it straight

No, it couldn't be me

And though the sun will rise again another time

That first sunset will always fill my mind

When we rolled into paradise

I could hardly wait to roll the dice

Drink my weight in rye on ice

And turn my bite into a slice of the pie

I got a pocket full of nothin' and

A head full of dreams and

A passionate heart with

Two left feet

Clap to the rhythm

Just a little offbeat and

Though I tried to play it straight

No, it couldn't be me

Lots of folks there sniffin' keys

Under tables on their knees

Rollin' dice well past midnight

Underneath the neon light

How I wish I could make this my life

I got a pocket full of nothin' and

A head full of dreams and

A passionate heart with

Two left feet

Clap to the rhythm

Just a little offbeat and

Though I tried to play it straight

No, it couldn't be me

I got a pocket full of nothin' and

A head full of dreams and

A passionate heart with

Two left feet

Clap to the rhythm

Just a little offbeat and

Though I tried to play it straight

It couldn't be me
