Cool Hand Morgan

Sometimes adter a day of drinking

I get my lonely head to thinking about

What I're done and just what I come from

And sometimes when my heart's at zero

I think about luke my war time hero

Who said sometimes nothing makes a pretty cool hand

Cuz I know where my momma came from

I know what my daddy did wrong

I got their blood in me just as sure as the sky is blue

Now I might not be as bright as some of them

And I just might not amount to anything

But I learned some things I wouldn't have learned in scholl

I rememver things just as sure as god can

And I try to forgive as best as I can

But some things'll stick to my heart til the day I die

Like momma in the back room bruised and bleeding

Daddy at the table and he keeps on drinking

And I just hug my guitar as the tears roll down

Thinking some day the lord's gonna come and rescue me

And mommy's gonna be all pretty like she used to be

But some things don't work out like you wish they would

Though the lord did eventually come for mommy

And other people came and they took my daddy

But luckilt I did get to keep my guitar

And if there's one thing I learned that I understand

Nothing really can be a pretty cool hand

Cuz if you got nothing you ain't got nothing to lose

Cuz if you got nothing you ain't got nothing to lose

Cuz I got nothing that means I ain't got nothing to lose
