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.
