(A special thanks to my friends, Frank & LJ, for playing steel & bass.)
Intro -4 bars-
You can't make a phone call for a nickel anymore
And an old jawbreaker now costs a dime
A can of soda water pretty nearly kills a dollar
But a penny for my thoughts is still just fine
Some things are worth a lot less than what they cost
While some worthless things stay the same
And a penny for my thoughts still suits me just fine
Just as long as you don't ask for change
Middle -8 bars-
I bought my first pickup truck for just five hundred bucks
But the one I drive today still ain't mine
It's got a lot of slick stuff but it's still a darned old pickup
And a penny for that thought will do just fine
Some things are worth a lot less than what they cost
While some worthless things stay the same
Yeah a penny for my thoughts still suits me just fine
Just as long as you don't ask for change
Yeah a penny for my thoughts still suits me just fine
Just as long as you don't ask for change
