Nickel And A Spoon lyrics

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

If it`s my life why tear it down
And make me feel this way
I do my 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 planning 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
Just a nickel and a spoon
