  • This time it's on my own
    Minutes from somewhere else
    Somewhere I made a wish
    With lucky Denver mint

    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?
    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?

    Hurry go on ahead
    Good things won't let you wait
    I'll catch up when we get home
    At home I'll leave
    A dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me

    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?
    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?
    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?
    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?

    Why can't I learn?
    Why can't I learn, learn, learn?
    Learn, learn, learn

    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?
    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?
    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn?
    You're not bigger than this, not better
    Why can't you learn? Writer/s: James Christopher Adkins, Richard E Burch, Thomas Darrell Linton, Zachary Michel Lind

  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnAddictive song, the loop at the end is awesome.
  • Music-hobbit from The Shire, EuropeWasn't it "Seventeen" the song featured in "Never been kissed"?
  • Drew from Ft Lauderdale, FlThe song title refers to the U.S. quarter (any maybe other US coinage). If you look closely at the front of the quarter you will see "P" on it. This means the coin was minted in Philidelphia. From time to time you will see a quarter with a "D" stamped on the front, hence, it was minted in Denver (much rarer than philly). You can then make a wish on "Lucky Denver Mint"
  • Jason from Shelby Twp., Miclarity is one of the most amazing albums i have ever heard. lucky denver mint is only one of the astounding contributions to that album. the passion and lyrical beauty of the entire album and the above song are nearly matchless in a time when music is sadly lacking in talent, originality, and just plain good sounds. i give clarity and lucky denver mint two big fat thumbs up. yeah das riyyyeeeet.
