Pennies and Youth - Brooke Waggoner

Spend a lotta my time stuck in coffee shop lines

Pickin' out the briniest blend of the finest drink

Sippin' mochachinos, plans for San Marino

Siftin' through the potholes of all my future dreams

My mother said to get it together

Push harder towards makin' it better

Take hold of my life and waste it no longer more

Trials and tribulations, over-stimulations

It’s not the dedication I need to, seem to … lose

My targets they are fuzzy, head it’s always buzzy

The break that’s never coming, how do I push on through?

My mother said to get it together

Push harder towards makin' it better

Take hold of my life and waste it no longer more

But I never have the answer

Never have the answer, it’s true

While I’m working' through my 20's

Savin' all my pennies from my misspent youth

Oh never mind, this is my life, I’m seein' it through

Patience is a virtue, complacent’s what I lean to,

Lookin' for a new avenue but a dead-end I find

$ 3.50 for a coffee, can’t nobody stop me

Wastin' all my money and time in the check-out line

My mother said to get it together

Push harder towards makin' it better

Take hold of my life and waste it no longer more

But I never have the answer

Never have the answer, it’s true

While I’m working' through my 20's

Savin' all my pennies from my misspent youth

Oh never mind, this is my life, I’m seein' it through
