Lucky Penny

Lately, life's been throwing everything that it can find And I've been feeling like I've wasted all my precious earthly time And Lord knows this life on the road has been so hard on me and you Probably why you called me up last night just to say"honey, we're through" But if you got it in your heart, could you grant me this one request Cause lately, of me, bad luck has gotten the best So, if you got it in your heart, could you grant me this plea The next time you see one, won't you turn a pretty penny heads side up for me Now, I'm not one for superstitions or fantasies But it's looking like this future of mine ain't gonna be no road of ease Lord knows heartbreak don't make these mountain highways any easier to traverse At the rate I'm going, I'm starting to think I might just be better off in a hearse But if I'm gone, there ain't no way you could ever come back Well, right now you wouldn't even come to my funeral if I had me one of them heart attacks So, I'll keep on picking and singing through the low, lonely and cold night And I figure if I make a little money on it, baby, you just might Come on back to me when there's a little more financial security So, if you got it in your heart, could you grant me this plea The next time you see one, won't you turn a pretty penny heads side up for me The next time you see one, won't you turn a pretty penny heads side up for me
