Lyrics for You Think You're Nickel Slick (But I Got Your Penny Change)

I'd take it back to have the chance to see her laugh, No see her dance You never told me it would be so hard. And now I wait for everyday to go away, just go away Goodnight, goodnight. I would tuck you in so tight, but I'm just A tired man with those tired hands of mine. Wake up, baby. It's time for us to leave. You're just a little girl in your lonely world with me So let's go all the way. Let's go all the way. This dark road will lead right where you want to be. You're driving, so take the wheel. Your conscience is pleading as you start believing That what you're doing is not for you. But there's no mistaking the life that you're taking, So kill the inconvenient truth. So let's go all the way. Let's go all the way. This dark road will lead right where you want to be. You're driving, so take the wheel.
