Infamous Stringdusters - 17 Cents lyrics

17 Cents is a whale of a lot 17 Cents is what I got Grocery bills,heat and the rent All i have left is 17 cents 19,18, 17 cents, dirty old dime and a penny's bent Ain't seen m'noth'in of my darlin since Left me here with 17 cents. Well down the road and around the bend Lookin for gold the the rainbow end over the field and under the fence. pockets are lined with 17 cents 19, 18, 17 cents Dirty old dime and the penny's bent Ain't seen nothing of m'darlin' since She left me here with 17 cents. I got a letter from the IRS "You owe back taxes--17 cents" Wish I had all the money they spent Spent on bringing in 17 cents.19, 18, 17 cents Dirty old dime and the penny's bent Ain't seen nothing of m'darlin' since She left me here with 17 cents. Went to Nashville--wrote me a song Put it on a record from Fiddlin' John Bill Monroe and Joseph Spence Royalty check was 17 cents 19, 18, 17 cents Dirty old dime and the penny's bent Ain't seen nothing of m'darlin' since She left me here with 17 cents. Down the road, skid row gents Always begged for 17 cents Never did find out where they went To buy anything for 17 cents 17 cents for a cup of joe, ticket home or a burger roll Never did find out where Ed spent To buy such things for 17 cents 19, 18, 17 cents Dirty old dime and the penny's bent Ain't seen nothing of m'darlin' since She left me here with 17 cents.
