Lyrics
Pennies and Patience ©
I never mind the working, I just hate the waiting,
For payday and Friday, or maybe just another way.
And I don’t mind the sleepless nights, cuz I waste away daylight.
And I’m all out of money and my troubles are catching up fast.
Pennies and patience yeah I don’t think they’re gonna last.
I don’t mind the lows as long as there’s the highs, yeah I don’t mind the lonely
Cuz the music gets me by. And I could never make head or tails, and all I’ve caught is hell.
And I’m all out of money and my troubles are catching up fast.
Pennies and patience yeah I don’t think they’re gonna last.
Short and sweet is the time that I killed, duck and run trying to skip on the bill.
Life is pushing on to me, sign right here we’ll set you free.
Cover my eyes as the lightning flashes, cover my ears as thunder crashes.
Cover my mouth, hope for the best, knowing damn well I’ll get the rest.
And I am all out of money and those black clouds are all that I can see.
Can’t outrun the wind, with a hurricane coming down on me.
