Copper Pennies

Verse 1

Midnight moon

Hangin high above the avenue

Shufflin shoes

Walkin home because I got the blues

Nothin left to say to you

Pocket full of copper pennies and a heavy soul

Keepin on despite the hole

Bitter rain is chillin me down to the very bone

Pre-Chorus

Waitin for the train to roll

Shadows long against the stone

Wishin I could let it go

Honey I am all alone

Chorus

Give it back to me

Sugar let the feelin be

I can feel it in my knee

Waitin on a little mercy

(Sweet mercy)

Just a little bit of mercy

Lord let me find some mercy

Verse 2

Cigarette burn

Smokin on the ledge above the street

Lessons learned

Wrestlin with all of the deceit

Tryin not to skip a beat

Tellin lies to everybody just to stay ahead

Thinkin bout the words you said

Layin wide awake and starin at a lonely bed

Pre-Chorus

Waitin for the train to roll

Shadows long against the stone

Wishin I could let it go

Honey I am all alone

Chorus

Give it back to me

Sugar let the feelin be

I can feel it in my knee

Waitin on a little mercy

(Sweet mercy)

Just a little bit of mercy

Lord let me find some mercy

Bridge

Maybe if the sky falls down

I can find a brand new town

Kick the dirt and wear the crown

Maybe I can lose this frown

Let me hear it

(Mercy)

Won't you give me

(Mercy)

Chorus

Give it back to me

Sugar let the feelin be

I can feel it in my knee

Waitin on a little mercy

(Sweet mercy)

Just a little bit of mercy

Lord let me find some mercy
