Bad Penny

I threw a handful of change in a wishing well

I made a wish for love

A sweet bombshell

One turned up and I was head over tails

A bad penny

So I picked her up for a little luck

That copper hair had me lovestruck

Oh good god I can't get enough of bad penny

She was a '93 and that was fine by me

She was all shined up and it was easy to see

There ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

One day late and a dollar short

Can't afford another quarter at the candy store

There ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

Oh in all my life I nickel and dimed

But I struck gold in a copper mine

There ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

Oh there ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

Whoever said a penny don't go far

Never stole a kiss in the back of the car

We're filling up the old change jar with bad penny

And a little more precious over time

And over those years she never lost her shine

And there ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

One day late and a dollar short

Can't afford another quarter at the candy store

There ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

Oh in all my life I nickel and dimed

But I struck gold in a copper mine

There ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

Oh there ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

Oh, here we go

Now looking back

Life's been good

Things turned out the best way they could

And there ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

No there ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

One day late, a dollar short

Can't afford another quarter at the candy store

There ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

Woah in all my life I nickel and dimed

But I struck gold in a copper mine

There ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

Oh there ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny

No there ain't no way I'm gonna throw away a bad penny
