Backstory:

36 Cents was Tina Turner had in her pocket when she escaped Ike's abuse. 

Eric Clapton and Tina have some history, so I thought he might like this tribute to her.

36 Cents 

He gave her black eyes so everyone would see
That the woman on his arm was his property
Until one night in Dallas he passed out on the floor
She grabbed the spare change from his dresser, ran out the door
Stopped for just a moment to pray
Scared, bruised, and exhausted
Ran across eight lanes of freeway
Faith jingling in her pocket 

     A quarter, a penny, and a dime
     Not much 36 cents would buy
     Except hope, sweet freedom
     And a second chance 
     To live for herself
     Doesn't need that man
     She won't ever
     She will never spend 
     His 36 cents

She got to California on the Fourth of July
Stopped running away from him, ran toward her new life
Cleaning houses paid the bills while a dream burned in her soul
She was shining from a stage - singing rock 'n' roll
Made her golden wishes come true
With the power in her voice 
Danced like she had nothing to lose 
Holding tight to those three coins

     Chorus

Tina Turner was a star
But a hero for escaping
Inspired a million women
To save their bones from breaking 
With a
