Pennies in My Pocket — release packages

Well I ain't got a mansion
And I ain't got a car
I traded in my troubles
For a seat beneath the stars
I got no fancy business
And no meetings on the books
But I got something better
If you take a closer look

I got pennies in my pocket
And they jingle when I walk
I got nowhere I gotta be
And all the time to talk
The sun comes up to greet me
And the birds sing me to sleep
I got pennies in my pocket
And this easy life to keep

Jingle jangle jingle jangle
All the livelong day
Jingle jangle jingle jangle
Worry walked away

My neighbor's got a Cadillac
He's working day and night
He's got an ulcer and a mortgage
And his hair is turning white
I wave to him each morning
From my hammock in the shade
He wonders how I do it
But I think I've got it made

I got pennies in my pocket
And they jingle when I walk
I got nowhere I gotta be
And all the time to talk
The sun comes up to greet me
And the birds sing me to sleep
I got pennies in my pocket
And this easy life to keep

Jingle jangle jingle jangle
All the livelong day
Jingle jangle jingle jangle
Worry walked away

Now some folks call it lazy
But I call it living smart
Why chase the things that don't bring joy
When peace can be an art
My granddaddy told me once
Son the richest man alive
Ain't the one with all the gold
But the one who's satisfied

So if you see me walking
With a whistle and a grin
I'm not crazy I'm just lucky
And I'm letting sunshine in
You can keep your corner office
And your fancy leather shoes
I got pennies in my pocket
And oh sweet nothing to lose

I got pennies in my pocket
And they jingle when I walk
And they jingle when I walk
I got nowhere I gotta be
And all the time to talk
And all the time to talk
The sun comes up to greet me
And the birds sing me to sleep
I got pennies in my pocket
And this easy life to keep
