letra de indian head penny - billy dean
(guy clark/verlon thompson)
i rolled off the frisco mint in 1909
the last one they ever made, you should’ve seen me shine
when i landed on the counter they gave me to a kid
making change for a jaw breaker was the first thing that i did
i got traded for a pocket knife, two marbles and some string
wound up on a railroad track waiting for a train
snatched up by a hobo and turned right into wine
pitched up against the wall at least a thousand times
round and round a penny goes
round and back again
listen and i’ll tell you
the places that i’ve been
i was stolen from a banker by pretty boy floyd and then
he gave me to a farmer who was trying to save his land
i was good luck to a soldier back in wwii
he lost me in a poker game the day the war was through
i got stuck behind the back seat of a ’51 chevrolet
spare change in the sixties, getting worthless every day
not it’s piggy banks and gum machines
and occasional wishing wells
or laying on a bar room floor
as far and wide
so both of us can dare
a promise i will love and bide
that’s all i have to share
a chance to sail among the stars
that few will ever see
to feel the deepest missing you
that most think cannot be
a heart that beats for only one
and loves you fast and true
a promise i will love and bide
that’s all i have for you
these things i have to give to you
their value isn’t much
just things that you can barely see
and rearely ever touch
a hand to hold when we’re alone
and no one seems to care
a gentle touch to re-ssure
and tell you i’m still there
to try my best to reminisce
our dreams that all come true
a promise i will love and bide
that’s all i have for you
my promise i will love and bide
this i give to you…
