I finally got around to picking up the Drive By Truckers new album. It isn't my favorite, that honor goes to The Dirty South (especially Danko/Manuel), but I really enjoyed it.
There plenty of serious tunes on this CD that are alone worth the cover price, but for some reason I can't stop playing "3 dimes down". Maybe it's the rocking guitars, the story, or the nod to Seger at the end. Whatever it is, I love this song.
Anyone else listening?

I STILL LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG! The last three lines make it.
| Quote : | "It was a straight shot
All it took was luck to not get caught
I laid three dimes down and the machine wanted 25 cents
In the back seat her and a friend,
one out the window and the other on the other end
One belt loop away from Sunday night's news
If the part about being who he was didn't help Tom get loose,
what's a guy without a T. gonna get? Totally screwed,
while chicken wing puke eats the candy apple red off his Corvette
Three dimes down and 25 cents shy of a slice of the Doublemint twins
Come back baby, Rock and Roll never forgets
