[hometext] => Has the price of loyalty changed over the years?
[bodytext] => "Lifetime Of Dimes"
Remember the day when loyalty cost a dime? Couldn't buy it with your life savings today Alley ways and dimly lit halls, make nice friends Find your way there and you're bound to find more Clear out the trash and you'll find an old man He hasn't had a bite since 1974, and doesn't ask much Flip him a dime and he'll sing you a tune It won't give you much, but it means the world to him A stranger just bumped his account to a buck o' three The cost of loyalty is disguised as a lump sum But you just brought back the glory days When you tossed that dime to the guy in filthy clothes You earned not only his trust, but his loyalty as well Who said it couldn't be done these days?
