Shallow Pockets

Laney Jones

Compositor: Laney Jones

Shadows livin’ in the door way
Standin’ ‘bout half way
Between the earth and sky
Lovers lyin’ in the daisies
Hopin’ that maybe they’ll be together soon
My hands are cleaner that the law man’s
And the fair maidens who sell their souls for gold

I walk for miles
On empty highways
'Cause that’s just my way
Of being free
Ain’t got nothing
Except shallow pockets
Full of impossibilities
Won’t you set me free

Babies born every hour
Cryin’ even louder
Than the years they did before
I don’t work for no one
Except that morning Sun
That keeps that shadows at bay

My life long hunger
Ain’t for nothing
'Cause I got something
That’s being free
Dreams went to shatter
But that don’t matter
As long as I am free
Won’t you set free
