Pennies and Youth Songtext
von Brooke Waggoner

Spend a lotta my time stuck in coffee shop lines
Pickin' out the briniest blend of the finest drink
Sippin' mochachinos, plans for San Marino
Siftin' through the potholes of all my future dreams

My mother said to get it together
Push harder towards makin' it better
Take hold of my life and waste it no longer more

Trials and tribulations, over-stimulations
It's not the dedication I need to, seem to ... lose
My targets they are fuzzy, head it's always buzzy
The break that's never coming, how do I push on through?

My mother said to get it together
Push harder towards makin' it better
Take hold of my life and waste it no longer more


But I never have the answer
Never have the answer, it's true
While I'm working' through my 20's
Savin' all my pennies from my misspent youth
Oh never mind, this is my life, I'm seein' it through

Patience is a virtue, complacent's what I lean to,
Lookin' for a new avenue but a dead-end I find
$3.50 for a coffee, can't nobody stop me
Wastin' all my money and time in the check-out line

My mother said to get it together
Push harder towards makin' it better
Take hold of my life and waste it no longer more

But I never have the answer
Never have the answer, it's true
While I'm working' through my 20's
Savin' all my pennies from my misspent youth
Oh never mind, this is my life, I'm seein' it through
