Me And A Penny

 

 

 

There’s lonesome on the road with me;

There’s happies you can’t find.

Someday I plan to roll away,

And satisfy your mind.

Just tell me you’ll remember,

That I was not to blame,

'cause me and a penny’s just the same.

 

 

Have you never known me;

Do you recognise my face?

There’s two sides to everyone;

Still I don’t leave a trace.

Just shove me in your pocket,

And bet me in the game,

'cause me and a penny’s just the same.

 

 

I'm the root of all evil;

Nice girls will tell you so.

You tell me you don't need me,

But you won't let me go.

You're glad that I'm around,

When you need a little change,

'cause me and a penny's just the same.

 

 

 

There’s no sense in foolin’ me;

I’ve tried, and it don’t work.

I can’t stay, and you won’t go,

And that’s what really hurts.

Don’t watch while I’m leavin’;

Just wipe me from your brain,

'cause me and a penny’s just the same.
