Indian Head Penny Lyrics - Singles - Billy Dean

(Guy Clark/Verlon Thompson) 

I rolled off the Frisco mint in 1909 

The last one they ever made, you should've seen me shine 

When I landed on the counter they gave me to a kid 

Making change for a jaw breaker was the first thing that I did 

I got traded for a pocket knife, two marbles and some string 

Wound up on a railroad track waiting for a train 

Snatched up by a hobo and turned right into wine 

Pitched up against the wall at least a thousand times

Round and round a penny goes 

Round and back again 

Listen and I'll tell you 

The places that I've been 

I was stolen from a banker by Pretty Boy Floyd and then 

He gave me to a farmer who was trying to save his land 

I was good luck to a soldier back in WWII 

He lost me in a poker game the day the war was through 

I got stuck behind the back seat of a '51 Chevrolet 

Spare change in the sixties, getting worthless every day 

Not it's piggy banks and gum machines 

And occasional wishing wells 

Or laying on a bar room floor 

As far and wide 

So both of us can dare 

A promise I will love and bide 

That's all I have to share

A chance to sail among the stars 

That few will ever see 

To feel the deepest missing you 

That most think cannot be 

A heart that beats for only one 

and loves you fast and true 

A promise I will love and bide 

That's all I have for you 

These things I have to give to you 

Their value isn't much 

Just things that you can barely see 

And rearely ever touch 

A hand to hold when we're alone 

And no one seems to care 

A gentle touch to reassure 

And tell you I'm still there 

To try my best to reminisce 

Our dreams that all come true 

A promise I will love and bide 

That's all I have for you 

My promise I will love and bide 

This I give to you...
