Oh I once had love |
|
And plenty of money |
|
But some way, some how |
|
Lord knows |
|
I failedOh yes |
|
I didNow all |
|
I haveIn my pocket |
|
All I can give account of |
|
Is a nickel and a nail |
|
Oh yeah lemme say it again |
|
All I can give account of |
|
Is a nickel and a nail |
|
My friends no no no |
|
They just don't know |
|
They sit down in my house |
|
And they think |
|
I'm doing swell |
|
But they don't know |
|
Every time |
|
I smile, every time |
|
I smileI jingle |
|
All that they can hear is a nickel and a nail |
|
Oh that's all it is |
|
Now a nickel and a nail |
|
Just might save my privacy |
|
But the need for your sweet lovin |
|
Oh baby it's got its hooks deep inside of me |
|
You said a long time ago |
|
That you're thinking the thrill is gone |
|
You said oh baby baby |
|
I think you better hit that lonesome lonesome lonesome trail |
|
But oh baby |
|
I'm wondering |
|
How do you expect me to make it |
|
I can't make it far with a nickel and a nail |
|
You know I can't make it far with a nickel and a nail |
