Empty Hands Lyrics

	In the shadows of the smokestacks
	Through the black snow, that lay on the land
	Walked home one winter morning
	With my live savings in my hand
	Maryanne, she愀 fixin?up some breakfast
	Got the lights on, on the christmas tree
	Sittin?there, lookin?up at an angel
	With something dyin?inside of me
	Grew up with great expectations
	Heard the promise and i knew the plan
	They say people get what they deserve
	But lord, sometimes it愀 much worse than that
	Maryanne, she takin?in some laundry
	I got a part time job in a drive-in stand
	Oh lord, what did i do
	To deserve these empty hands?
	Chorus:
	Across the cities
	Across this land
	Through the valleys
	And across the sand
	Too many people standin?in line
	Too many people with nothin?planned
	There愀 too many people with
	Empty hands
	Now maryanne愀 been cryin?lord knows, i love her the best i can
	When my pride is bruised and broken
	She slips her hand into my empty hands
	Without hope, without love
	You扉e got nothing but pain
	Just makes a man not give a dammn
	That愀 no way for us to live
	We扉e got to fill these empty hands
	Chorus:
	Across the cities
	Across this land
	Through the valleys
	And across the sand
	Too many people standin?in line
	Too many people with nothin?planned
	There愀 too many people with
	Empty hands
