Hands up and Amen - Billie Ray Martin

Don’t walk like you’re scared again

That’ll only make him angry

You’re face only makes it seem

Like there’s plenty of money comin' rollin' in

Don’t stop and don’t look around

You don’t know where’s he’s aimin' no

If you’ve got pockets your gonna pay

So you can save your hope for judgement day

A ticket to take the bottom over the top

Mixed up and never knowing where to stop

To move half way up in this town

How can you go that low down low down

She looked up to the sky and then she

Praised the lord

Hands up and amen

Now she’s waiting for the good times

Don’t you try and understand

There is no explanation no

He needs your fear and he needs your cash

'Cause the brothers poor and the brothers bad

A ticket to take the bottom over the top

Mixed up and never knowing where to stop

To move half way up in this town

How can you go that low down low down

She looked up to the sky and then she

Praised the lord

Hands up and amen

Now she’s waiting for the good times

Waiting for the good times

Mmmm mmmm oh yeah mmmm mmmm oh oh oh yeah

A ticket to take the bottom over the top

Mixed up and never knowing where to stop

To move right on up in this town

How can you go that low down low down

She looked up to the sky and then she

Praised the lord

Hands up and amen

Now she’s waiting for the good times

She looked up to the sky and then she

Praised the lord

Hands up and amen

Now she’s waiting for the good times hey

Waiting for the good times no

She’s waiting for the good times

She’s waiting for the good times hey
