Pennies Short

I left a show

And I hopped a train

On the fly

Now there's gravel in my teeth

And blood on my knees

I never had a better view of the sky

But I still got my legs

And my brains in my head

So that means

That I'll keep trying

I'm always a day late

And a few Pennie's short

And I'll be that way

Till I'm dying

He left that town

Yeah he caught a train

In the night

Had a forty in his hand

Pack of smokes and a friend

He told his momma goodbye

His bags are all packed

And the bulls at his back

So that means

He'll keep riding

He's always a day late

And a few pennies short

And he'll be that way

Till he's dying

We left the bar

Yeah we walked the pier

In the night

Whiskey on my breath

And both scared to death

We thought it was the wrong time

We started picking strings

Diving dumpsters and dreams

It's uphill but we'll keep fighting

We're always a day late

And a few pennies short

We'll be that way till we're dying
