If I Had a Dime (Lyrics)

by Tom Jawbone

If I had a dime for every time
my mind rumbled all night long
If I had a dime for every time
I was in dire need of a song
and if I had a dime for every time
I felt like a swine among pearls
then I’d be the one who could say he was the one
with the most dimes in the world

If I had a dime for every time
I decided to live out a dream
If I had a dime for every time
I changed horses in midstream
and If I had a dime for every time
I gave a dream another whirl
then I’d be the one who could say he was the one
with the most dimes in the world

If I had a dime for every time I tried
to leave my heart behind
If I had a dime for every time I lied
and every time I drew the blinds
and If I had a dime for every time
I repeated every curse that I’ve heard
then I’d be the one who could say he was the one
with the most dimes in the world

If I had a dime for every time
I had to push myself along
If I had a dime for every time
I came back fairly strong
and If I had a dime for every time
I learned what I had to learn
then I’d be the one who could say he was the one
with the most dimes in the world
