Empty Handed (Bucky Covington)

He's a mover, he's a shaker, he's a big money maker Spit and shine on his Alligator shoes Doin' what he's doin', headed straight for ruin And he doesn't even have a clue The hollow man hadn't asked where it all happens Got a window on the forty-second floor Whoever would have thought it turns that all he ever wanted Ain't the thing he was lookin' for Sometimes he wishes that the wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how he ever got disenchanted Holdin' on to the good life and he can't stand it Well, everybody leaves here empty handed A small town beauty queen, livin' on amphetamines Hangin' in the Hollywood Hills Got herself famous in the City of the Angel's With the help of the devil and the pills And daddy was a preacher, even Jesus couldn't reach her She's a victim of another disease She's done a lot of purgin' and she's had a lot of surgery A-searchin' for what she needs Sometimes she wishes that the wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how she ever got disenchanted Holdin' on to the good life but she can't stand it Well, everybody leaves here empty handed Well, the cold hard truth is up to you So if you ever wish that your wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how you ever got disenchanted Holdin' on to the good life but you can't stand it Well, everybody leaves here empty handed Empty handed, empty handed Well, everybody leaves here empty handed Empty handed, empty handed
