Empty Handed Lyrics - Bucky - 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
