Dollar from a dime, oh!
I got some bills piled up on the table
Ain't got no money to cover them at all
I got a sweet thing that's waiting home for me
My phone got cut off so she won't get my call
I ain't got no money for weed in my bong
Ain't nothing free, but death and time
If it ain't one thing, it's bound to be another
When you're trying to make a dollar from a dime
My friends are making it, but coming up unhappy
They say they'd trade it all for what I do
When I don't got money for nothing
No cars, no clothes, no shoes, you know I don't believe it's true
Someone broke into my trailer again
Took all I got, but everything's fine
If it ain't one thing, it's bound to be another
When you're trying to make a dollar from a dime
Trying to make a dollar from a dime
Ain't got no shows this month, there's nowhere to play
One came in, but the ride is a long way
Don't let it go, don't let it get stale
Got the motor choked on a velvet rope
And your checks in the mail
I ain't got no weed to put in my bong
Nothing free in life, but death and time
If it ain't one thing it's bound to be another
When you're trying to make a dollar from a dime
Trying to make a dollar from a dime
Trying to make a dollar, dollar
Ain't got no money to cover them at all
Ain't got no phone, got no money at all
Ain't got no time and, ain't got a dime and, ain't got the time
What's it going to take to get me started
