lyrics

Pocketful of Change

V: She put a penny on the railroad track
Steel wheels crushed that penny flat
She picked up the copper it was hot, but
She put that penny in her pocket
She walked along the tracks back home
She’s got a pocketful of change

V: She flipped a nickel in the wishing well
Watched it spin around as it fell
So deep she didn’t hear it hit the water
She just kept on wishing harder
She closed her eyes and wished away
She wants a pocketful of change

B: Faith is blind and luck is dumb
Praying’s fine but cussing’s fun
She knows exactly where she’s from
But not exactly where she’s going
She’s just knowing that she needs a little change

V: She slid a dime into the slot
Turned the handle to see what she got
It’s just a little prize but it’s something new
Reminds her of a girl that she once knew
That laughed and sang and ran and played
With a pocketful of change

V: She put a quarter in the meter
She hope’s an hour is all she’ll need
Time is precious ‘cause it ‘s all she’s got
‘cept for some coins on the shelf in a coffee pot
Coins she’s saving for a rainy day
When she’ll need a pocketful of change

B: Faith is blind and luck is dumb
Praying’s fine but cussing’s fun
She knows exactly where she’s from
But not exactly where she’s going
She’s just knowing
that she needs a little change

V: She put a penny on the railroad track
Steel wheels crushed that penny flat
A penny ain’t worth much these days
She thought about letting that penny lay
But she picked it up and walked on home
She’s got a pocketful of change

Pocket full of change
Pocket full of change
Pocket full of change
