Handful of Hell - George Shingleton

Got no money but I got something going Ain't so wise but I know something worth knowing A fist full of dollars don't make a man a man It's something more precious than your gold A man has got the world in his hands with his hand full of soul So, it's rather like a fourth dimension It's your hart, your mind, your worlds ease and then some Some giving some taking even some aching It's luck running hot or running cold So live it and see what you got with a handful of soul If you really have to ask, you don't know what soul is Cause the receipt is older than old is, oh yes it is Some giving some taking even some aching It's luck running hot or running cold Live it and see what you got with a handful of soul I keep telling you I ain't got no money but I got something going Ain't so wise but I know something worth knowing A fist full of dollars don't make a man a man It's something more precious than your gold A man has got the world in his hands with his hand full of soul
