Pennies
[Chorus]
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies
I'd win a cruel lottery
And I'd run away somewhere peaceful by the sea
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies

[Verse 1]
I'd watch the tide from the bay
On the mountains of money I've made
If the hurtin' was worth it I still don't deserve it
And just as soon it all flowed away

[Chorus]
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies
I'd win a cruel lottery
And I'd run away somewhere peaceful by the sea
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies

[Verse 2]
All of the foes passing by
Look on with envious eyes
Lord, they still trade if they knew what I've paid
Would a heartache be worth the prizes?
[Chorus]
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies
I'd win a cruel lottery
And I'd run away somewhere peaceful by the sea
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
If there comes a time when my tears no longer fall
Well, I'll cherish the day that I lost it all

[Chorus]
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies
I'd win a cruel lottery
And I'd run away somewhere peaceful by the sea
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies
Yeah I'd run away somewhere peaceful by the sea
If teardrops were dimes and pain was pennies
But teardrops ain't dimes and pain ain't pennies
