lyrics

I wish I had a nickel for every nickel I ever had
I wish I would have listened to my dear old dad
Maybe I’d be richer or wiser just the same
Because I’m telling you what buddy I barely got
two nickels to my name

She’s a strong minded woman and she pays all of my bills
She says all my jokes are older than the hills
Now she goes bargain shopping
And likes talking on the phone
And when we’re together like birds of a feather
We’ll never be alone

Well we ain’t got much, but we got love
We don’t soar with an eagle, but we perch with a dove
Maybe I can’t promise you the moon and stars
But when you’re here with me baby I guarantee
We can see ‘em… from wherever we are

Sometimes I feel lucky just having you around
Nothing can compare to the treasure that I found
I may never win in Vegas or hit the power ball
But letting it ride with you by my side
I’m the biggest winner of all

Well we ain’t got much, but we got love
We don’t soar with an eagle, but we perch with a dove
Maybe I can’t promise you the moon and stars
But when you’re here with me baby I guarantee
We can see ‘em… from wherever we are

I wish I had a nickel for every nickel I ever had
I wish I would have listened to my dear old dad
Maybe I’d be richer or wiser just the same
I’m telling you what buddy I barely got two nickels to my name
I’m telling you what buddy I barely got two nickels to my name
I’m telling you what buddy I barely got two nickels to my name

Jeff Haigerty Portland, Oregon

Born in Indianapolis, IN, I moved to Portland, OR in 1992 and started the Tree Frogs. We were a big deal in the 90s. A big 7 piece jam band that released three albums while touring and scrounging our way across the USA. Since then a lot of life altering crazy stuff has happened, and along the way I found the time to write a bunch of country songs, debuting 5 of them on my new EP release, Nickel. ... more
