lyrics

Wasted pennies in a well
Just because you never can tell.
The wealthy banker makes an heir of filthy water
For some poor sharecropper’s daughter.

Wasted pennies in a stream
A Steel Reserve and a golden scheme.
From the mansion on the hill down to the Goodwill,
Mink coats over Army greens.

Lady Luck, ass up in the tub
A diamond ring on a floating glove.
The parlor Victrola wanes on,
“At last my love has come along.”
I’ve blown fortunes on all those old jukebox love songs.

Wasted wishes down the drain
Along with soda water and Tanqueray.
Jimmy I thought I told ya,
If you ain’t playing “Strip Polka,”
Leave that piano alone today.

Lady Luck ass up in the bath
The water’s flooding the downstairs flat.
They already called the cops but that rain ain’t gonna stop.
Take all your lousy, good-for-nothing wishes and shove ‘em in the cracks.

Wasted pennies in a well
The hounds of love out chasing tail.
Heaven forbid should they catch it when they fetch it,
Wishing for fishes landing whales.
Heaven forbid, should they catch it, when they fetch it.
Wasted pennies in a well.

D.T. Buffkin San Antonio, Texas

Somewhere between the AM country of yesteryear, the high and lonesome willow-whine of the ferociously stoned cosmic cowboy and the horny, rambunctiousness of '70s Brit-blues-rock resides D.T. Buffkin and his "honky tonk 'n' roll."
