Back of My Hand Live 2005 by The Rolling Stones Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I heard a preacher
On the corner
Rantin' like a crazy man
He say there trouble
Troubles comin'
I can see it like the back of my hand
Whoa, yeah
See it like the back of my hand
[Verse 2]
I've seen love
I've seen misery
Jammin' side by side on the stage
In the wind
Some mournful melody
I read it like the back of my hand, yeah
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
The back of my hand
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Mmm, mm
[Verse 3]
Oh, and there's a woman
With a hand out
And children throwin' lies in the sand
And someone [?] to read my fortune
I said I can read it like the back of my hand
Well, I said
[Verse 4]
Oh, I see dreams
I see visions
Images I don't understand
I see Goya's
Paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand
Read it like the back of my hand
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Oh read it like the back of my hand
[Audience Applause]
[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Thank you
Thank you very much!
Thank you very kindly!
I know you wanna leave me but I refuse to let you go
[Verse 1]
I heard a preacher

Troubles comin'
I can see it like the back of my hand
Whoa, yeah
See it like the back of my hand

I've seen love
I've seen misery
Jammin' side by side on the stage
In the wind
Some mournful melody

The back of my hand
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
