THERE'S SOMETHINGS IN THIS WORLD THAT JUST CAN'T BE REPLACED
LIKE THAT BEAT UP STANLEY THERMOS WITH CHIPPED GREEN PAINT
MY MOMMA GAVE TO ME RIGHT AFTER DADDY DIED BACK IN 93'

AND THOSE DOG TAGS IN THE 3RD DRAWER OF MY DRESSER CHEST
ARE THE SAME ONES THAT MY GRANDPA WORE AROUND HIS NECK
THE DAY HE LOST HIS LIFE FIGHTING FOR A FUTURE FOR YOU AND I

I RICH MAN'S GOLD COULD'NT COVER THE COST IF THEY EVER GOT
STOLEN OR EVER GOT LOST
GOD I HOPE THEY NEVER DO
I COULD'NT BUY NEW PEARLS LIKE MY GRANDMA WORE AT ANY HIGHT
CLASS JEWELRY STORE
OR REPLACE THAT LUCKY PENNY WITH ONE BRAND NEW
OR EVER FIND ANOTHER LOVE IF I LOST YOU

THERE'S A FIFTY YEAR OLD PENNY THAT I HAVE SAVED
THE ONE MY GRANDMA WORE INSIDE HER SHOE ON HER WEDDING
DAY TO BRING HER LUCK
TO ME THAT ONE CENT COIN IS WORTH MORE THAN A MILLION BUCKS

INSIDE HER JEWELRY BOX YOU'LL FIND A STRING OF PEARLS
PASSED DOWN FIVE GENERATIONS TO ALL THE GIRLS IN MY FAMILY
TREE
ONLY GOD KNOWS JUST HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME

I RICH MAN'S GOLD COULD'NT COVER THE COST IF THEY EVER GOT
STOLEN OR EVER GOT LOST
GOD I HOPE THEY NEVER DO
I COULD'NT BUY NEW PEARLS LIKE MY GRANDMA WORE AT ANY HIGHT
CLASS JEWELRY STORE
OR REPLACE THAT LUCKY PENNY WITH ONE BRAND NEW
OR EVER FIND ANOTHER LOVE IF I LOST YOU

IF I LOST YOU I'D DROWN IN DESPERATION
IF I LOST YOU MY HEART WOULD NEVER MEND
BUT IF I HAVE TO FACE THAT DAY
I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT GOD WILL FIND A WAY TO PULL ME THROUGH
IF I LOST YOU
