Lucky Penny Lyrics - Carousel One - Ron Sexsmith

Seems like you've been dining on the remix of the day 

But with a song in mind I am sure the DJ is bound to play 

A song for Sunday drivers who, like us, could use some kind of sound 

She my lucky penny 

When I ain't got a lousy dime 

Well she's the one beside me when the world ain't on it's time 

I need a love to hide me when there's nowhere left to hide 

No matter how I try I find myself down on my luck sometimes 

She my lucky penny 

When I ain't got a lousy dime 

She's my silver and gold 

She got a hold of me, it lingers 

When that sliver of hope 

Gets pulled out of my finger 

She my lucky penny 

When I ain't got a lousy dime 

Tried to give up the ghost 

It's that hold on me that lingers 

Go from pillar to post 

Slip beneath that rose within her 

Seems like you've been dining on the remix of the day 

Keep a song in my love, to the tear stains on the way 

A song for two hitchikers who, like us, could use a lift sometimes 

She my lucky penny 

When I ain't got a lousy dime 

I bet my bottom dollar 

When I ain't got a lousy dime
