Pocketful of Songs
Written December 1994
Appears on Death And Re:Bertha
Available as an mp3


You've got your liquor, you've got your drugs
You've got a woman you say you really love
You've got religion, your rights and wrongs
I've got a guitar and a pocketful of songs.

You've got money and you've got fame
You've got a big Rolls Royce with a license plate with your name
You've got the whole world in your pocket
   and they want to sing along
I've got a guitar and a pocketful of songs.

Bridge:
Everybody knows what they need to get them through
Except for when they've got it, just like me and you
When the whole world wants to be there just standing in your shoes
And you want to be barefoot again,
   drunk as hell and singing in the rain.
We've both got rhythm and we've both got rhyme
And we'll both have hit songs when the good lord says it's time
Yeah, and part of me want what you've got and part of me is wrong
I've got a guitar and a pocketful of songs.

You've got a record, you own the charts
You've got a big gun that broke a million hearts
Just like a thousand bright-eyed singers that want to follow along
I've got a guitar and a pocketful of songs.
I've got a guitar and a pocketful of songs.
