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
