Nickel and a Spoon Lyrics

When I turn twenty-one I'm gonna make a change Turn my back on what I was Make you proud of what I'm not
If it's my life why tear it down And make me feel this way I do the best with what I've got Why do you tear it down?
Mama's not talkin' now Dad, he's fallen off the track Sister's on a rampage and brother He's plannin' his silent attack
My family's up and moved away They couldn't stand the heat Why build a house just to burn it down Another love torn mystery
You take a nickel and a spoon And a crooked lover's tune Might not add up to much at all Just a nickel and a spoon
Mama's not talkin' now Dad, he's fallen off the track Sister's on a rampage and brother He's plannin' his silent attack
When I turn twenty-one I'm gonna make a change Turn my back on what I was And make you proud of what I'm not
But mama's not talkin' now Dad, he's fallen off the track Sister's on a rampage and brother He's plannin' his silent attack
