Testo Working Hands Empty Pockets - Hackeboda
Testo della canzone Working Hands Empty Pockets (Hackeboda), tratta dall'album Ghosts,Highways & Whiskey
Alarm goes off before the sky even thinks about turning blue
Same boots by the doorway, same worn-out view
Coffee tastes like yesterday but I drink it anyway
Got a job that takes it out of me before I even start the day
There's a line of trucks on the highway all heading somewhere else
Everybody chasing something, nobody catching much of it themselves
I used to think hard work would get me somewhere I could stand
Now it just feels like running circles in sinking sand
Boss says "keep it moving" like we're numbers on a sheet
Clocking hours, breaking backs, just to barely make ends meet
I got dirt under my fingernails I can't wash away
And a body that's ten years older than my age
You ever notice how the ones who talk the most
Never had to choose between the bills and keeping hope?
I ain't asking for a miracle, just something that makes sense
'Cause right now it feels like effort don't mean shit
Got working hands and empty pockets
Every damn day feels like I lost it
Give it all and still come up short
Like the system don't keep score
I ain't lazy, I ain't blind
Just tired of falling behind
If this is what it takes to survive
Then tell me when the hell we start to live a life
There's a kid at home who thinks I got it figured out
Sees me walk in like I ain't full of doubt
And I smile like it's easy, like it's all under control
While I'm calculating numbers in the back of my soul
I don't mind the work, I mind what it don't give back
All these hours spent and still we're off track
You can call it pride or just a stubborn man
But I ain't built to break without a stand
Got working hands and empty pockets
Every damn mile feels like I walk it
No shortcuts, no safety net
Just a lifetime drowning in debt
I ain't asking to be saved
Just don't wanna feel this way
If this is what we're fighting for
Why does it feel like we're still at war
Maybe I'm not the only one
Standing here half undone
Trying to hold it all together
While it keeps coming apart
Got working hands and empty pockets
Still standing here, still ain't dropped yet
You can take your toll, I'll take my stand
Ain't no shame in a working man
Yeah I'm worn down, but I'm still here
Still showing up year after year
And if this world won't give me more
I'll build something it can't ignore
