Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Nickel in the Well

I got a four leaf clover

Hung a horseshoe on the wall

Threw salt over my left shoulder

I'll try anything at all

To get lucky with you

I want you so much

Until you want me too

I ain't gonna give up

I'll throw another nickel in the well

Tell myself this time maybe it'll help

To make my dreams come true

I'll make another wish upon a star

Just in case you're out in your backyard

Lookin' up there too

With a lot of love and a little luck

You'll fall like I fell

I'll just cross my fingers

And throw another nickel in the well

If I could get Houdini

To teach me a trick or two

Then maybe you would see me

In the way I want you to

I'm gonna knock on wood

It ain't been easy

I've done everything I could

To make you need me

I'll throw another nickel in the well

Tell myself this time maybe it'll help

To make my dreams come true

I'll make another wish upon a star

Just in case you're out in your backyard

Lookin' up there too

With a lot of love and a little luck

You'll fall like I fell

I'll just cross my fingers

And throw another nickel in the well

With a lot of love and a little luck

You'll fall like I fell

I'll just cross my fingers

And throw another nickel in the well

I'll just cross my fingers

And throw another nickel in the well
