On The Hill

On the hill

All the pennies dropped
Should have bought a mansion on the hill
Tried to be a winner
I’m such a loser through and through

All the time I spent
Instead of being present
Chasing dollar signs
Being on the wrong side

I still remember
My first time
It was 1994….Eagles and Niners
Garner laid it down and I
Collected two bills

The start of something
So destructive
Wish I could go back cause
I see it’s killing my family

Pennies dropped
Add up to a bucket
Dropped so many pennies
I should be in Nantucket
 
Baby girl is being born
And I’m checking the scores
I’m a real loser that
I cannot defend

I want this to be a warning
To those who will try
Chasing a dollar
Is a way to lose inside
