Dime Novel

like a dime novel, short and sweet

gotta read something with my bite to eat

pick up something to pass the time

get a dime novel, it’s only a dime

stories they range in such

substance some just as much

about as deep as the sea

if you're wadin’ only 3 feet deep

like a dime novel, short and sweet

gotta read something with my bite to eat

pick up something to pass the time

get a dime novel, it’s only a dime

smokin on the patio

not enough money to see the show

now i've got plenty of time

to read my dime novel, so sublime

like a dime novel, short and sweet

gotta read something with my bite to eat

pick up something to pass the time

get a dime novel, it’s only a dime

a dime novel to ease the pain

sit and read about falling rain

on the corner grocery store

patio by the door

like a dime novel, short and sweet

gotta read something with my bite to eat

pick up something to pass the time

get a dime novel, it’s only a dime
