Abraham Lincoln

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] I found a penny on the ground earlier today An old fella looked right up at me and I just walked away Born in DC, put on a train and ended up in a jar in San Clemente You wait so anxiously to see the light of day [Verse 2] Young Maxwell foolish as a fox, would not obey Taken mother's money from the jar where she saved Out of the candy store, so proud he walks away Now in this little box of coins, the old man stays [Chorus] I wish I would've known, oh I wish I would've known I wish I would've known Just how much you're worth [Verse 3] Into the pocket of a man who wanted change for a dollar Too many things have caused him pain today but then he saw her Father of eleven, thin, with hair blonder than the sun He just wanted a break but just stole everything And ran away with the money Oh the money [Verse 4] She fled to Phoenix yesterday Where she stayed with her brother and his fiancé Old Abe lied flat right in her purse Until she dropped it on the ground and spilled her change [Pre-Chorus] I found a penny on the ground earlier today An old fella looked right up at me and I just walked away [Chorus] I wish I would've known, oh I wish I would've known I wish I would've known Just how much you're worth [Bridge] You're worth You're worth [Instrumental Break] [Outro] (You're worth) (You're worth)
