Blue collar by day; trying to be responsible family man; singer songwriter by night trying to stay with his music;

Lyrics
Pennies Of Steel
© J. Cava & All Rights Reserved
It's a grey and grimey sky
Another too long goodbye
One more railroad hotel
With my stories to tell
Another lonely night singin songs that don't feel right
Do you know how it feels to sing your songs for pennies of steel?
Thought I was doin you right
Payin the bills and coming home each night
Kissin the kids and tucking them in
Trying to listen, and just being your friend
Still another lonely night singin songs that don't feel right
Do you know how it feels to sing your songs for pennies of steel?
Bridge
They all look the same,
With their little round faces and all the same names
Old and hard to hold,
Just like a love that's-grown cold
Woke up in the afternoon
The sun and you started way too soon
Saw the dresser my wallet and change, and those
Little steel pennies were all that remained of you
I guess I was the fool
Another lonely night singin songs that don't feel right
Do you know how it feels to sing your songs for pennies of steel?
Yes I can finally feel.
