Copper

from Pocket Knife by Morgan Haner

lyrics

Living like a pauper
Got a fist full of copper
Gonna try to make a dollar
Gonna have to lay low
For a couple of days
Until I get paid
Just for a couple of days
Until I get paid

They pay you by the pound
And they charge you by the ton
No, I can't skip town
Until the deal is done
Just a couple of days
Until I get paid
Just for a couple of days

They get you by the throat
They get you by the hair
You better watch what you're doing
You be careful out there
Just for a couple of days
Until I get paid
Just a couple more days
Just a couple more

Living like a pauper
Got a fist full of copper
Gonna try to make a dollar
Gonna have to lay low
For a couple of days
Until I get paid
Just for a couple of days
