Lyrics
EMPTY POCKETS
I've never been a rich man, I've never traveled far
but you can see a universe just by knowing who you are
in every school of thought, they try to teach you how to live
just try to keep a balance between what you take and what you give
chorus
an empty pocket's not as empty
as an empty heart
and if you don't believe me
you should start
when she says I love you, oh baby that's good as gold
there's just no way to measure all the riches that love holds
there's a rainbow in her eyes, oh that bridges every storm
she's always by my side even when the money's gone
repeat chorus
BRIDGE
not a penny in my pocket, I can't promise you the moon
all I got I know that I got it for loving you
Lead
reframe
there's just no way to measure all the riches that love holds
when she says I love you, oh baby, that's good as gold
an empty pocket's not as empty
as an empty heart
it is a shame you don't believe me
you should start
