Nickel and a Nail Lyrics & Tabs by Ruthie Foster
Nickel and a Nail
guitar chords lyrics
Oh I once had love
And plenty of money
But some way, some how
Lord knows I failed
Oh yes I did
Now all I have
In 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
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 smile
I 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
