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
