Don't you know, baby?
The faster you get there
The longer it takes you to leave
And ain't it soThat the nicer they treat you
The more they're inclined to deceive
So it goes, baby, I'm here for the long run
They told me to come as you areI found a good one
She looks like she could run
She looks like a good one so far
Never got handed a dollar by no one
I earned every dime in the jarShe wants to catch you
And she wants to fetch you
And she wants to wrap you all up
Into a bundle, if you make a bundle
Of cash, you're just plain outta luckIt starts out dandy
And she'll give you candy
But that's only part of the trap
She gets an attorneyAnd his name is Bernie
And he'll string you up like a cat
Never got handed a dollar by no one
I earned every dime just like thatEvery dime in the jar
Comes from runnin'
From dive bar to barEvery dime in the jar comes
From diggin' and scratchin'
And stealin' the gold
From the starsPlease, understand me
Ain't nobody handing me
Dimes that I keep in the jarEvery dime in the jar
Comes from runnin'
From dive bar to bar
Oh yeahEvery dime in the jar comes from
From diggin' and scratchin'
And stealin' the gold
From the starsPlease, understand me
Ain't nobody handing me
Dimes that I keep in the jarWhen I was a young boy
My daddy had nothin'
Momma would save every dime
Now mommas have nannies
And house cleaning spanniesAnd daddies will lose every time
They don't save dimes now
Not even dollars
They don't save nothin' you earnNow I don't know how
I'm sure in the end now
There's some place
Where they gonna burnNever got handed a dollar
By no one and here is
The lesson I learnedEvery dime in the jar
Comes from runnin'
From dive bar to barEvery dime in the jar comes
From diggin' and scratchin'
And stealin' the gold
From the starsEvery dime in the jar
Comes from runnin'
From dive bar to bar
Oh yeahEvery dime in the jar comes
From diggin' and scratchin'
And stealin' the gold
From the starsPlease, understand me
Ain't nobody handing me
Dimes that I keep in the jarDimes that I keep in the jar
Dimes that I keep in the jar
Dimes that I keep in the jar
Dimes that I keep in the jar
