Dwight Yoakam The Back Of Your Hand Lyrics

The Back Of Your Hand Lyrics

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.
