Bill Mallonee - Hat In Hand lyrics

Pen the lament and shadow your eyes There's a vapor trail stretching across a Kansas sky Dirt lot kids making dirt lot plans Shuffle forward your hat in hand Could be the hangman could be the noose Could be the engine could be the caboose It pays to know on which side you stand Shuffle forward your hat in hand Yeah gold in this house there's gold in my band There's gold in your blouse honey gold in my hand It's a rhythm and mystery you don't quite understand Shuffle forward your hat in hand Run fast after everything And that's just what you'll miss Live your life opened armed Or with a clenched fist Dirt lot kids doing dirt lot deeds Way too much living in the minor key Burn all these sins in a Love so grand Shuffle forward your hat in hand
