“You Think You’re Nickel Slick (But I Got Your Penny Change)” Song Lyrics

From the album, I'm Only a Man, by Emery

I’d take it back to have the chance to see her laugh,
to see her dance.
You never told me it would be so hard.
And now I wait for everyday to go away, just go away.

Goodnight, goodnight.
I would tuck you in so tight, but I’m just
a tired man with these tired hands of mine.
Wake up, baby. It’s time for us to leave.
You’re just a little girl in your lonely world with me.

So let’s go all the way. Let’s go all the way.
This dark road will lead right where you want to be.
You’re driving, so take the wheel.

Your conscience is pleading as you start believing
that what you’re doing is not for you.
But there’s no mistaking the life that you’re taking,
so kill the inconvenient truth.

So let’s go all the way. Let’s go all the way.
This dark road will lead right where you want to be.
You’re driving, so take the wheel.

Emery How does a successful band, with thousands of devoted fans, hundreds of amazing live shows, a debut that shattered all expectations and spectacular musical skill follow-up its debut? The answer is simply The Question. Emery's second album for Tooth & Nail, The Question has already exceeded expectations - in fact, the release debuted in August 2005 at #45 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. No easy feat for a band that, just four years ago, had barely formed.
