Assuming 1966 is your birth year, we are eleven years apart.
Reminds of a song.
Wheat Penny (1944)
Title: Wheat Penny (1944)
Track Time: 04:11 Tempo: BPM: 87
VS 1
Something caught my eye down at my feet
Looking closer - what did I see?
Was it really nothing - or something sweet?
- A wheat penny - looking back at me
CHORUS
Wheat penny, wheat penny,
where have you been?
How did you get here today?
Can you tell me - all that you've seen?
If you could - what would you say?
VS 2
The date on the penny - 1944
Eleven years older - than me
A time long ago - at the start of the war
The great conflict - across the sea
CHORUS
VS 3
Headline news about - the D-Day invasion
that happened in - Normandy, France
Was that the day - that you were minted?
I suppose there - might be a chance
CHORUS
VS 4
Hard being devalued - over all of these years?
Not like life - when you first appeared
Hand to hand - you were - passed around
From cash drawer - to pocket - all over town
VS 5
Do you remember - being shiny and new?
Or the piggy bank hammer - that set you free?
The Five and Dime store - or the trip to the zoo?
C'mon now - why won't you - talk to me?
