There’s a penny in my hand, it reads “In God we trust”
Don’t you find it curious
I ain’t trusting in nobody
But these dollar signs and monies through the day
There’s an idea up my sleeve, it’s taking time to plan
Never could quite understand
Why I thought this would be easy,
But these plans seem to elude me as I age
And I’m feeling old
I’m feeling old
Yeah I know I’ve got my means,
I just need for it to reach its end
There’s a road I’m driving down, it goes by 65
I’ve watched my life flash ‘fore my eyes
But it gets me where I’m going
At least I’m praying and I’m hoping anyway
There’s a girl that’s in my house, they call her ball and chain
I never could see her the same
All she wants is me to love her
But I still put things above her every day
And she’s feeling cold
She’s feeling cold
Yeah she knows I’ve got my means
She just wishes it would reach its end
But I’m feeling old
I’m feeling old
Yeah I know I’ve got my means,
I just need for it to reach its end
Are you feeling cold?
Are you feeling bold?
Yeah we’ve all got our means
We just wish that they would reach their ends
But I’m feeling old
I’m feeling old
Yeah I know I’ve got my means,
I just need for it to reach its end
Yeah I know I’ve got my means
I just need for it to reach its end…
One of my favorite albums of all time. Beautifully written thought-provoking lyrics, and plenty of guitars to shred your face off all at the same time. Zach Wolfe & The Coyotes
