Dime Lyrics

In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel

 In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf

 Is a small reminder of a simpler time

 When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime

 Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you

 When I'm on the ground I roll through town

 I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around

 I'm a dime

 I'm fine

 And I shine I'm freshly minted

 I am determined not to be dented

 By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented

 I'm a dime

 I'm fine

 And I shine

 In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds

 As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around

 There's a ringle jingle near the underpass

 There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash

 I'm a dime

 I'm fine

 And I shine I'm freshly minted

 I'm silver-plated I'm underrated

 You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call

 I'm a dime

 I'm fine

 And I shine 

 I'm a dime

 I'm fine

 And I shine

 I'm a dime

 I'm fine

 And I shine
