Because I'm not enough for a local phone call
By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented
I'm a dime
I am determined not to be dented
I'm fine
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
And I shine
I'm fine
I'm a dime
You won't even pick me up
I'm silver plated, I'm underrated
When I'm on the ground, I roll through town
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
I'm a dime
And I shine, I'm freshly minted
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
And how my mint condition could belong to you?
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
Well you ask me how I made it through?
And I shine
I'm fine
I'm fine
And I shine, I'm freshly minted
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
I'm fine
I'm a dime
I'm a dime
And I shine
I'm fine
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
I'm a dime
