Pennies and Blues

[Verse] I found a penny on the ground Heads up lucky day's just found But my luck it's so absurd Penny saved ain't penny earned [Verse 2] Down in Memphis streets so wide Pennies falling side by side Life's a game but ain't as grand When pennies slip right through my hand [Chorus] Oh the times have changed it's true A penny ain't worth much to you Rolling down the avenue All we got is these blues [Verse 3] Saving every cent I can But they don't fill up my plan Every dime and nickel too Feels like pennies on my shoe [Bridge] Folks keep saying life is gold But my pennies getting old Blues in Memphis oh so deep Pennies dance while we just weep [Verse 4] Found a jar of copper dreams Reality ain't what it seems Looking for some silver linings In a world of penny findings
