One More Bad Penny
One More Bad Penny
One more bad penny comes back for you
Said he only did you wrong
'Cause you needed him too
You don't walk, you don't talk
Like the others do
Take some darkness to murder the sight
Of all the pretty words
Supposed to keep you in the light
It ain't clear when you hear
Is that the other side
He's got the mean blues for you
What will you do when they're growing
You're the girl who loves all the fools
What can you do when you love him
What can you do when you're in love
The bar lights fade and the records won't play
The engines howl and pound on your brain
You say goodbye
You don't realize
You've already caved
Flood waters ruin your land
You're three feet in it where you stand
Something's gotta change I hear you say
But it's so hard to understand
He's got the mean blues for you
What will you do when they're growing
You're the girl who loves all the fools
What can you do when you love him
What can you do when you're in love
Baby, why
Baby, why
Baby, why can't we just let go
Why, baby, why
You don't want him to make much fuss
The windows are open but the blinds are shut
Then you yell, "go on, get out"
That's just one more bad penny gone
He's got the mean blues for you
