(Verse 1)

Woke up this morning, troubles on my mind,

Bills piling up, feels like I'm falling behind,

Worked hard all week, but the money's all gone,

Can't catch a break, feeling like I don't belong.

(Chorus)

Ain't got a nickel, ain't got a dime,

Living on hope, in these tough times,

Struggling to make it, but I'm gonna climb,

Ain't got a nickel, ain't got a dime.

(Verse 2)

Got mouths to feed, and a roof that leaks,

Every day's a battle, feels like I'm up the creek,

But I won't give in, won't let life bring me down,

Gonna keep on fighting, 'til I turn it all around.

(Chorus)

Ain't got a nickel, ain't got a dime,

Living on hope, in these tough times,

Struggling to make it, but I'm gonna climb,

Ain't got a nickel, ain't got a dime.

(Bridge)

Through the darkest nights and the longest days,

I'll keep pushing forward, finding my own ways,

Though the road is rough, and the journey's long,

I'll keep on singing, my hopeful song.

(Chorus)

Ain't got a nickel, ain't got a dime,

Living on hope, in these tough times,

Struggling to make it, but I'm gonna climb,

Ain't got a nickel, ain't got a dime.
