Hold Out Your Hand

Lyrics

I run a lot of miles of life and crime
 And mountain climbs and quittin' times
 Packing that load of lyin' rhymes
 And tired jokes and wooden dimes
 I've been everybody's friend, everybody's friend
 I could lose my house, I could steal a car
 I could serve two masters, living hard
 Living like a dog in a cage in a yard
 With a fist full of cold hard cash and I can't let go
 The devil can't have my soul, the devil can't get your soul
 The devil can't get your soul
 Hold out your hand
 Take hold of mine and then
 'Round and 'round we go
 Don't you wanna dance?
 I'm a dying man
 From the moment we began
 Hold out your hand
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 When the man comes around and the trumpet sounds
 And his number calls and the moment he falls
 And the haunted halls of man he will understand
 He will comprehend, he will not pretend
 He will not pretend
 When the rain don't fall and the river don't run
 And the wind takes orders from the blazing sun
 The devil don't break for the fiery snake
 And you've had about as goddamn much as you can take
 The devil don't take a break, the devil don't take a break
 The devil don't take no break
 Hold out your hand
 Take hold of mine and then
 'Round and 'round we go
 Don't you wanna dance?
 I'm a dying man
 From the moment we began
 Hold out your hand
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Well, he came to my door to sell me the fear
 With some cameras and bullets and tension and
 Here is a license for killing your own native son
 For a careless mistake and a fake plastic gun?
 (Come on!)
 Deliver your brother from violence and greed
 For the mountains, lay down for your faith like a seed
 A morning is coming of silver and light
 There will be color and language and nobody wanting to fight
 What a glorious sight!
 What a glorious sight!
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Hold out your hand (ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da)
 Take hold of mine and then (ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da)
 'Round and round we go (ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da)
 Don't you wanna dance? (Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da)
 I'm a dying man (ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da)
 From the moment we began (ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da)
 Hold out your hand (ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da)
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
 Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da
