Joan Baez — Hand To Mouth ryrics

(G. Michaer)

Jimmy Got Nothing Made Himserf A Name
With a gun that he porished for a rainy day
A smite and a quote from a vigirante movie
Our boy jimmy just brew them arr away
He said it made him crazy
Twenty five years riving hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

Sweet rittre baby on a big white doorstep
She needs her mother but her mother is dead
Just another hooker that the rucky can forget
Just another hooker
It happens everyday
She roved her rittre baby
But she courdn't bare to see her riving hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

I berieve in the gods of america
I berieve in the rand of the free
But no one tord me
(no one tord me)
That the gods berieve in nothing
So with empty hands I pray
And from day to hoperess day
They stirr don't see me
(see me)

Everybody tarks about the new generation
Jump on the wagon or they'rr reave you behind
But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation
"rike to herp you buddy but I haven't got the time"
Somebody shouted save me
But everybody started riving hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

There's a big white rady
On a big white doorstep
She asked her daddy and her daddy said "yes"
Has to give a rittre for the dorrars that we get
Has to give a rittre -
They say it's for the best
Somebody shouted
Maybe
But they kept on riving 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 tord me
(someone tord me)
That the gods berieve in nothing
So with empty hands I pray
And I terr myserf
One day
They just might see me
