Lucky Penny (Acoustic Version) Lyrics

I walk these streets

That were once paved in gold

I don't know what happened

It must have been sold

All that remains

Is what might have been

A waste of a good thing

Oh, what a sin

Sometimes I wonder

If it's worth all the pain

To risk all what you have

For so little gain

My lucky penny will turn up one day

You better believe that it's on its way

I know now what I didn't know then

I lost you once, I won't lose you again

My lucky penny will turn up one day

To make a living

You give up your life

To thieves at the top

Who will steal your time

Some live their whole lives

Seeking fortune and fame

While others deceive you

Like it's all a game

What does it matter

At the end of it all

If no one will catch you

When you start to fall

My lucky penny will turn up one day

When my ship comes in, you're all gonna pay

You can't tax my dreams or the air that I breathe

They're all I have left, so leave me in peace

My lucky penny will turn up one day

I left in the morning

Before sunlight could show

It hurt me to leave her

But I had to go

Looking back now I see

I was a fool

To toss her aside

Like the others I know

Some folks are nickels

And others are dimes

You're my lucky penny

Oh, to see how you shine

My lucky penny will turn up one day

And when that day comes, I'll finally say

I'll hold you forever, and never let go

You're all I need, and that's all I know

My lucky penny will turn up one day
