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

I'm a dime
B
I'm fine

And I shine I'm freshly minted

I am determined not to be dented

By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented

In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds

As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
C#m C#m7
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
F# B E B F#
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
