The Back of Your Hand
Dwight Yoakam
When you give it up for gone but you're still digging in the mine
And you're staring out the window saying everything will be just fine
In keeping with the whole affair every word seems out of line
No matter what angle you get it's polished til it shines
You take a guess where I stand; pick a number from 1 to 2;
Take a look at the back of your hand; just like you know it, you know me too
When you say who the hell am I living with? What just went down?
Where did this come from, why are all my colors faded brown?
When did he change? What's with the rage?
Who's the dude with the extra roll, what's the verse, the line, the chapter, the page?
You take a guess where I stand; pick a number from 1 to 2;
Take a look at the back of your hand; just like you know it, you know me too
You think you're lost without any place left to go
Like you need one of those kisses long and slow
At first glance it's not what it seems but there's some things that I just know
Like you take 2 sugars with a splash of cream
You take a guess where I stand; oh pick a number from 1 to 2;
Then take a look at the back of your hand; just like you know it, you know me too
Yeah like you know it, you know me too; just like you know it... you know me too.
