Empty Pockets by Ed Englerth

It’s the man with the empty pockets
With the back as strong as steel
He’ll be ready if work comes
But that doesn’t help with the way he feels

His boot leathers getting thinner
His patience is like his shoes
When he thinks about who he is
And yet he’s made to play the fool

He’s got Empty pockets
He’s got the blues
He’s got empty pockets
And nothing to hold on to

He’s been out of work for 2 years
Feels like 23
Unemployment figures keep rising
The bottom is all he sees

He never claimed it was easy
Now he wonders will it be at all
Gone is his security
And his backs up against the wall

He’s got Empty pockets
He’s got the blues
He’s got empty pockets
And nothing to hold on to

He wakes up later each morning
And goes to bed later each night
His world is gone with the sunset
And it won’t be back with the morning light

He’s got Empty pockets
He’s got the blues
He’s got empty pockets
And nothing to hold on to
He’s got Empty pockets
He’s got the blues
He’s got empty pockets
And nothing to hold on to
