Like a Dimestore Lawyer

(Tune sounds like Rhinestone Cowboy, sung by John Edwards)
Dedicated to personal injury lawyers, trial lawyers and class action lawyers...

I've been walkin' these halls so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty hallways and courtrooms
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a dimestore lawyer
Riding out on a Caddy in a star-spangled legal show
Like a dimestore lawyer
Getting checks and letters from people I don't even know
Settlement offers comin' over the phone

Well, I really don't mind the strain
And a frown can fake all the pain
But you're down when you're tryin' the claim that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subpoena and a cervical collar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a dimestore lawyer
Riding out on a Caddy in a star-spangled legal show
Dimestore lawyer
Gettin' checks and letters from people I don't even know
Settlement offers comin' over the phone

Like a dimestore lawyer
Riding out on a Caddy in a star-spangled legal show

(FADE)
Like a dimestore lawyer
Gettin' checks and letters from people I don't even know
