One More Bad Penny

One More Bad Penny

One more bad penny comes back for you

Said he only did you wrong

'Cause you needed him too

You don't walk, you don't talk

Like the others do

Take some darkness to murder the sight

Of all the pretty words

Supposed to keep you in the light

It ain't clear when you hear

Is that the other side

He's got the mean blues for you

What will you do when they're growing

You're the girl who loves all the fools

What can you do when you love him

What can you do when you're in love

The bar lights fade and the records won't play

The engines howl and pound on your brain

You say goodbye

You don't realize

You've already caved

Flood waters ruin your land

You're three feet in it where you stand

Something's gotta change I hear you say

But it's so hard to understand

He's got the mean blues for you

What will you do when they're growing

You're the girl who loves all the fools

What can you do when you love him

What can you do when you're in love

Baby, why

Baby, why

Baby, why can't we just let go

Why, baby, why

You don't want him to make much fuss

The windows are open but the blinds are shut

Then you yell, "go on, get out"

That's just one more bad penny gone

He's got the mean blues for you
