Ron Sexsmith Lyrics
"Lucky Penny"

Seems like you've been dining on the remix of the day
But with a song in mind I am sure the DJ is bound to play
A song for Sunday drivers who, like us, could use some kind of sound
She my lucky penny
When I ain't got a lousy dime

Well she's the one beside me when the world ain't on it's time
I need a love to hide me when there's nowhere left to hide
No matter how I try I find myself down on my luck sometimes
She my lucky penny
When I ain't got a lousy dime

She's my silver and gold
She got a hold of me, it lingers
When that sliver of hope
Gets pulled out of my finger

She my lucky penny
When I ain't got a lousy dime

Tried to give up the ghost
It's that hold on me that lingers
Go from pillar to post
Slip beneath that rose within her

Seems like you've been dining on the remix of the day
Keep a song in my love, to the tear stains on the way
A song for two hitchikers who, like us, could use a lift sometimes
She my lucky penny
When I ain't got a lousy dime
I bet my bottom dollar
When I ain't got a lousy dime
