Ain't Got a Nickel Ain't Got a Dime

[Verse] Times are tough and work is slow Got no cash no place to go Shoes worn thin from walkin’ streets Life ain’t easy it’s bittersweet [Verse 2] Hustle late into the night Barely holding on so tight Streetlights flicker dreams are gone Grit my teeth and carry on [Chorus] Ain’t got a nickel ain’t got a dime Livin’ on the edge just wastin’ time Soul is weary heart’s a mess But I keep dancing in this dress [Verse 3] City’s buzzing neon bright Cold wind cuts through me tonight Sidewalk preacher shouts his truths While I hang on to my youth [Verse 4] Jukebox plays a mournful tune Pockets empty but I’ll croon Life’s a gamble so they say Roll the dice and fade away [Chorus] Ain’t got a nickel ain’t got a dime Livin’ on the edge just wastin’ time Soul is weary heart’s a mess But I keep dancing in this dress
