"Line Those Pockets" lyrics
"Line Those Pockets"
Poor man livin' on the boulevard
Wealthy man drivin' by in a sports car
Little girl in a 3rd world city
Old lady still tryin' to look pretty
So let us pray it's not too late
To line those pockets with grace
Everybody's just tryin' to be happy
Line those pockets with grace
Everybody's just tryin' to be happy
So put your money away
Line those pockets with grace
Sore loser out to get revenge
Old boozer out sleepin' on a park bench
Desperate sinners always up to no good
All the kids that kick the can in the neighborhood
So let us pray it's not too late
To line those pockets with grace
Everybody's just tryin' to be happy
Line those pockets with grace
Everybody's just tryin' to be happy
So put your money away
Line those pockets with grace
Line those pockets with grace
Line those pockets
Big game hunters in the camouflage pickup trucks
All the hippies in the tie dye school bus
Bus boys scrapin' by sweepin' up the restaurants
Little women sippin' wine like some debutants
Everybody's whose wishin' for a valentine
Stranded at the borderline, prayin' for a better time
Wounded soldier when he gets back home
Millionaire's got it all but he's still alone
Everybody's just tryin' to be happy
Line those pockets with grace
Everybody's just tryin' to be happy
So put your money away
And let us pray that it's not too late
To line those pockets with grace
Line those pockets

Brent Cobb - "Come Home Soon" Never thought I'd be so far from Georgia
Georgia's where I knew I'd always live and die
Now here I am travelin' through Colorado
Livin' on the road, just tryin' to survive
And its been so long since...
Jamestown Revival - "Revival" The air was cold
Oh, and the money was tight
I clung to her body that night
Pretending I was in love
See I been told
That this kind of living ain't right
But it becomes hard to fight
When it fits...
Mipso - "Marianne" Marianne I don't wanna wait
The chapel's full but the preacher's late
There's flies around our cake, shut the door
My daddy came from a different world
I knew enough when his lips curled
Nobody...
Levon Helm - "Got Me A Woman" Oh, I got me a woman she's a pretty good woman at that
We live with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat
She calls me 'Tex', makes me wear a cowboy hat
But I don't care she's a pretty good woman at that...
