Pocket Change
Finding Freedom: Hailey Whitters' Reflection on Love and Independence
Lyrics
Where's my Studebaker?
Expressing a nostalgic sentiment, wondering about the whereabouts of a Studebaker, a type of car.
I'm nobody's pocket change
Asserting independence and refusing to be someone's trivial or expendable possession.
To jingle when you want to throw
Rejecting the idea of being used casually, akin to pocket change that jingles during a card game.
Around in some card game
Commenting on the frivolous nature of tossing around objects or emotions in a game-like manner.
Pencils and old receipts
Referencing small, mundane items like pencils and receipts kept for practical reasons.
You had to keep to save your ass
Alluding to the necessity of keeping certain things for self-preservation.
Where's my Studebaker?
Repeating the inquiry about the location of the Studebaker, maintaining a sense of longing or searching.
I'm nobody's pocket change

I'm gonna get my head on track

Hit the hills, no more thinking, gravity hourglass
Embracing a carefree attitude, escaping from overthinking and embracing the passage of time.

Don't they have it all?
