Andrew Peterson - Loose Change lyrics

rate me

I'd give you all of me to know what you were thinking And if I had one wish I'd wish I wasn't sinking here Drowning in this well Oh can't you tell That I can't pick myself up off the ground I've been face down And pushed aside Well, you know I'd rather just turn tail and run Than lie here in the sun And watch you pass me by 'Cause I ain't worth a dime But if only I could stand up straight I wouldn't have to lie and wait I could up and roll away And never be ignored I've got a feeling that I'm something more Than just a piece of copper ore Turning green and looking for The reason I was born Well, I've been around since 1974 In banks and bottom drawers On railroad ties I've been passed around and cast aside And skipped and flipped and flattened wide Spun around and thrown away and left alone to lie CHORUS But I heard about a penny found Lying underneath the couch By a woman who was kneeling down Looking for some change Then the woman danced around Called her friends all over town Told 'em what was lost is found It's another penny saved So I find that all this time Beneath the surface, I could shine Like all the gold a king and queen could measure See, even just a penny is a treasure
