Nickels and Dimes

Have mercy on a poor boy's soul And please don't be too unkind I live my life on the edge of a knife Now I'm leavin' it all behind Oh, We blew those nickels and dimes Oh, We blew those nickels and dimes I got me a three-piece suit Set out on the make Now I serenade those rich old maids Like a sweet-talkin', two legged snake (CHORUS) I turned on my boyscout smile I stood up and gave her my seat Winked my eye and unzipped my fly And later we went up to her penthouse suite (SOLO) Every eye in the casino Is on the woman at the roulette wheel She was thirty-eight, a little over weight In her purse lay her charm and appeal (CHORUS X 2) (OUTRO)
