Lyrics to Dollars and Dimes

As a kid in Arkansawyer I got my hambone on

But those days are gone

To get me paid some wages, I rolled out of town

Where I find work is where I'm bound





Indy to Atoka, on roofs and under cars

Building churches, building bars

Tampa to Kalkaska picking fruit off of the trees

Michigan to the Florida Keys





Trying to find, trying to find

Dollars and dimes

Trade my time, dollars and dimes





No pie in the sky when I go

Old Utah Joe he ought to know

From Desolation Canyon to Confusion Range

I'm broken down feeling strange





Trying to find, trying to find

Dollars and dimes

Sell my time, dollars and dimes





Cairo Illinois you better watch out son

Like the Union Army never won

Two rivers join together Mississippi and Ohio

But stay apart as they flow





Trying to find, trying to find

Dollars and dimes

All my time, dollars and dimes





As a kid in Arkansawyer I got my hambone on

But those days are gone
