Lyrics
One More Nickle
You gave me a quarter to call someone who cares
I put all my money in that phone over there
The voice on the line said I?m sorry to say
It?ll be one more nickel for a phone call today
It costs so much more to get over you
If I had one more nickel maybe I could get through
And tell my poor mamma you found someone new
Girl it costs so much more just to get over you
I gave you the house half the dog and my car
They gave you the children cause I live in this bar
I wish I had left you back in 92
Cause it costs so much more today just to get over you
It costs so much more to get over you
If I had just one nickel maybe I could get through
And tell my poor momma she was right about you
Girl it costs so much more just to get over you
