Joan Baez Hand To Mouth Lyrics

Jimmy got nothing made himself a name
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
Our boy jimmy just blew them all away
He said it made him crazy
Twenty five years living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
She needs her mother but her mother is dead
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget
Just another hooker it happens everyday.
She loved her little baby
But she couldnt bear to see him living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

She believes in the gods of america
She believes in the land of the free
No one told her that the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands She'll pray
And from day to hopeless day
They still dont see her

Everybody talks about the new generation
Jump on the wagon or theyll leave you behind
No one gave a thought to the rest of the nation
I'd like to help you buddy, but I havent got the time
Somebody shouted save me
Everybody started living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

Theres a big white lady
On a big white doorstep
She asked her daddy and her daddy said yes
Have to give a little for the dollars that we get
Have to give a little - They say its for the best
Somebody shouted may be.
But they kept on living from hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

So she ran to the arms of America
And she kissed the powers that be
And someone told me
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty arms I pray
And I tell myself One day
They just might see me...
