lyrics

80, 87 cents to my name.
Jinglin' in my pocket,
Can't buy me anything.
Maybe it'll get me a cigarette on the street,
But there's no chance in Heaven it'll get me home to thee.
To Thee, to thee, to thee, to thee
No chance in Heaven it'll get me home to thee.
I scrounge up 12 more pennies
Up to 99.
Not even a dollar to ease my lonely mind.
I stand here on the corner tryin' to write this rhyme;
As if it'll get me home to thee.
Not quite a dollar, I hold here in my hand,
But a million songs they wander, spinning 'round my head.
Just if they'd get on paper
Maybe I could try, to a few more dollars
So I can hit Rt. 95, and finally get home to thee.
To thee, to thee, to thee, to thee
Ain't no chance in heaven it'll get me home to thee.
Nickels & Pennies,
Quarters & Dimes:
If only they'd amount to all I need in life.
But this system's long been broken;
Everybody just scrapes by.
That's why I can't get home
That's why I can't get home
That's why I can't get home to thee.
