Handful of Dimes

The weeds are brown and dry along the Indiana blacktop

And the heat waves on the highway make it shine

Got your picture in my pocket with your number on the back

And A Handful Of Dimes

It's been cloudy in Atlanta, and the weatherman said rain

But now the sun comes shinin' through the blinds

I was in the shower when the phone rang

And you made the weather change

With a Handful of Dimes

I sold the Chevy in the city to a man for twenty dollars

And Chicago doesn't even know I'm gone

Chicago never needed you the way I do right now

And you know you kept me waiting too long

With a little bit of luck I'll catch a truck down through Kentucky

And I'll see you then by Thursday suppertime

Baby, we'll get by, we can make it if we try

On a Handful of Dimes

I sold the Chevy in the city to a guy for twenty dollars

And Chicago don't even know I'm gone

Chicago never needed you the way I do right now

And you know you kept me waiting too long

With a little bit of luck there'll be a truck down through Kentucky

I'll see you then by Thursday suppertime

Baby we'll get by, we can make it if we try

On a Handful of Dimes
