[Verse 1] Always fishing for pennies In the cracks of the old front steps A little girl on the hunt she finds them then comes in for lunch She lines them up on the railing Like tiny rusted moons in a row Hums as she counts them Smiling Like there’s nothing else she needs to know [Chorus] She says “Pennies are from heaven and Dollars are for daddies I’ll take every penny that will find me Every scratch..... Every scratch of copper shine mine mine mine mine mine who cares about a nickel or a dime cuz Pennies just suit me fine” [Verse 2] When we walked past the fountain that girl she jumped right in scooping up pieces of heaven she said the angels must of dropped them with her pockets so full and her eyes so heavy I heard her whisper so soft so barely mamma keep the nickles keep the dimes but I'll hide all the pennies for baby brother to find [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] One day will she holler bout all her pennies that aren't dollars by then she'll know a dime is worth more than copper shines But her father and her mother and her little baby brother kept all those pennies from the gutter now she's got a 100 dollars but green sure ain't her color she just wants her shiny copper and since daddy's have just dollars she asked to trade him all because of pennies are from heaven and Dollars are for dads and with her 10000 pennies she threw them up into the air [Repeat Chorus] [Outro] When they fell down all around her she said the angels must have found her and made the copper just surround her she went and got her baby brother showed him how the gutters shined with the pennies fell from heaven long ago she said they were mine now heaven spilled for you to find pennies just suit you fine.....
