guy smith - nickel dreams lyrics

Loading...

i’ve stumbled in the gutter, i’ve walked a crooked line
told myself to do right, but i failed nearly every time
i bought a pack of dreams, but they all blew away
like cigarette ash escaping from the tray

when your dreams ain’t worth a nickel, and you pray that hope is kind
you double down on nothing, ‘cause you put nothing on the line
and you roll snake eyes yet again, your luck turns from bad to worse
as fate walks away laughing, and your prayer becomes a curse

just an old denim jacket, and boots needing repair
abandoned love in the rear view, and a 20 yard vacant stare
a million faded yesterdays, tomorrow’s alibis
directionless, with a nagging cough behind bloodshot eyes

i bet big on the game, but life took all the stakes
expectations expired fast, deepening all these aches
family passed or walked away, anchors tossed aside
self+inflicted wounds from self+inflicted pride

when your dreams ain’t worth a nickel, and you pray that hope is kind
you double down on nothing, ‘cause you put nothing on the line
and you roll snake eyes yet again, your luck turns from bad to worse
as fate walks away laughing, and your prayer becomes a curse

maggie you might have rescued me, if i had just allowed
turn up my jacket collar, as the rain falls from clouds
stumble to the train yard, freight cars aren’t heading home
my nickel dreams bought me nothing, but sadness to the bone

when your dreams ain’t worth a nickel, and you pray that hope is kind
you double down on nothing, ‘cause you put nothing on the line
and you roll snake eyes yet again, your luck turns from bad to worse
as fate walks away laughing, and your prayer becomes a curse
when your dreams ain’t worth a nickel, and you pray that hope is kind
you double down on nothing, ‘cause you put nothing on the line
and you roll snake eyes yet again, your luck turns from bad to worse
as fate walks away laughing, and your prayer becomes a curse
