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 Imon the ground I roll through town Ima president you dont remember getting kicked around Ima dime Imfine And I shine Imfreshly minted Imdetermined not to be dented By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented Ima dime Imfine And I shine In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds As the afternoon commuters dri have the ir cars around There is a ringle jingle near the underpass There is a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash Ima dime Imfine And I shine Imfreshly minted Imsilver-plated Imunderrated You wont even pick me up because Imnot enough for a local phone call Ima dime Imfine And I shine Ima dime Imfine And I shine Ima dime Imfine And I shine
