flip side of 'brother can ya spare a dime?'

lyrics

I AIN'T GOTTA (NICKEL OR A DIME)

well i ain't gotta a nickel or a dime rub together
i ain't lookin' for that kinda fix
i got the sky and the streets and the city and my band
hey man, i'm rich oh oh yeah

i got the northern lights inside my heart
i got a backbeat in my chest
i'm on a dirty stage in a dirty ol' town
i got nuthin' but the best

well i ain't gotta a nickel or a dime rub together
i ain't lookin' for that kinda fix
i got the sky and the streets and the city and my band
hey man, i'm rich oh oh yeah

well they ask me why i'm smiling'
how can i give complaint a rest
do i need a perfect one-of-a-kind lover
no sir, i'm happy
i got my song

well i ain't gotta a nickel or a dime rub together
i ain't lookin' for that kinda fix
i got the sky and the streets and the city and my band
hey man, i'm rich oh oh yeah

well i stare out the window
at the rain and the snow
fallin' like a whisper against my ear
let's dance!

well i ain't gotta a nickel or a dime rub together
i ain't lookin' for that kinda fix
i got the sky and the streets and the city and my band
hey man, i'm rich oh oh yeah
well i ain't gotta a nickel or a dime rub together
i ain't lookin' for that kinda fix
i got the sky and the streets and the city and my band
hey man, i'm rich oh oh yeah
