[00:00.00]Back of My Hand - Ron Sexsmith
[00:05.02]Like the back of my hand
[00:07.49]I know my way around
[00:09.41]
[00:12.71]I know the lay of the land
[00:15.82]Every square inch of this town
[00:18.42]
[00:22.03]I look around at the faces I see
[00:25.14]As I take my thoughts out for a walk
[00:28.54]I know where things stand
[00:31.60]
[00:32.63]Like the back of my hand
[00:36.02]
[00:38.38]Down in front of the stage
[00:41.30]The curtain's set to rise
[00:43.57]
[00:46.50]Where no one's acting their age
[00:49.52]Everybody's in disguise
[00:52.26]
[00:55.56]And looking up at the faces
[00:58.05]I clearly can see that it's not going down
[01:02.10]
[01:02.75]The way they planned
[01:04.74]
[01:06.12]Like the back of my hands
[01:09.12]
[01:10.54]Like the back of my hands
[01:13.93]
[01:16.76]Somehow the world today
[01:18.80]Seems shot in Super 8
[01:20.54]It has this nostalgic glow
[01:23.78]
[01:24.89]If I lose all track of time
[01:27.02]It's no skin off my back
[01:28.58]'Cos I'm not going anywhere
[01:30.85]So I know I won't be late
[01:34.05]
[01:50.89]I'm not going anywhere
[01:52.95]So I know I won't be late
[01:56.13]
[01:57.33]Hmm mmm
[01:58.91]Like the back of my hands
[02:01.86]I know if there's a God
[02:04.49]
[02:07.06]That only he understands
[02:10.15]What to us just seems so odd
[02:12.68]
[02:15.91]He's looking down on creation
[02:18.75]The same way that
[02:20.10]I'm looking down as I play
[02:23.27]The Baby Grand
[02:26.23]
[02:26.82]At the back of my hands
[02:30.21]
[02:31.01]Like the back of my hands
[02:34.43]
[02:35.10]Like the back of my hands
