Advice From Me
©Copyright 2007. Words and Music by: Danny McIntosh / Wayne Murphy

1st Verse
Good bye she said as I walked out the door.
And that look on my face meant I won?t be coming round here no more.
So I threw all I own in the back of my old truck.
With one last look one last kiss and a photograph for good like.
I pointed that old truck south, ended up down by New Orleans.
found a sleepy little town, and stopped, too see what I could see.

2nd verse
My head started hurting so I stopped for a drink
hit the bar, hit the bottle, and sobered down so I could think.
And stumbled outside and met a bum in the street.
He said for not much less than a dime he?d sell this advice to me.

Chorus
It?s a penny for my thoughts, and a nickel for my mind
Son I?ve got what you want if you?ve got the time and the dime.
He said;
Live young, Die old, stand up straight, don?t forget the stories
your daddy told, and live life on the edge of your seat and stand
tall on your own to feet. That?s some advice from me.

3rd Verse
Seven years gone by, and I?ve got a family of me own.
Got a dog, got a kid, got a wife and a cute little picket fenced home.
But, not a day goes by when I don?t thank that man I met on the street.
The best six cents I ve ever spent, but today it?s yours for free

Chorus
It?s a penny for my thoughts, and a nickle for my mind
sone I?ve got what you want if you?ve got the time and the dime.
He said ;
Live young, die old, stand up straight, don?t forget the storys
your daddy told, and live life on the edge of your seat and stand
tall on your own to feet.

2nd Chorus
Live young and die old stand up straight and be strong when it?s hard
I know you will carry on, and live life on the edge of your seat, and
stand tall on your own two feet, with your head held high and,
your heart on your sleeve. Oh that?s some advice from me.
