Verse 1
Ol' Jethro rides again, midnight city lane
Patchwork suit, not a dollar to spare
Just two words too many for polite company
Cheap black coat, off-white shirt, lucky find
Salvation Army tie, polka dots run wild
Band wrappin' his Timex, barely holds
But the time's always right when luck’s on your side
Sunday best, Tuesday mess, every day in style
Chorus
He don’t need a dime for a little charm
Jethro knows, he knows he belongs
Rollin’ down Main in a Caddy seen better days
Yet the girls wave, they wave, can’t look away
Cologne from a shelf at the corner store
Dollar scent, dollar dreams, sweeps ‘em off the floor
Ladies laugh, but they let him in
Rags or riches, boy just grins
Verse 2
Hand-me-down Cadillac, faded blue paint peels
A little bit country, city grit in his heels
Hopes high, window down, radio broken long ago
But tonight it sings, cause hope outweighs steel
Empty pockets can’t empty that smile
When Jethro’s on the prowl, girls pause a while
No shame in his game, never missing a beat
Swagger born in small towns, every Friday street
Chorus
He don’t need a dime for a little charm
Jethro knows, he knows he belongs
Rollin’ down Main in a Caddy seen better days
Yet the girls wave, they wave, can’t look away
Cologne from a shelf at the corner store
Dollar scent, dollar dreams, sweeps ‘em off the floor
Ladies laugh, but they let him in
Rags or riches, boy just grins
Bridge
Maybe someday, Sunday suit’ll shine
Maybe one day, he’ll find a name, not a line
Maybe, but tonight is only his
Cruising, smiling, livin’ in this blitz
Chorus
He don’t need a dime for a little charm
Jethro knows, he knows he belongs
Rollin’ down Main in a Caddy seen better days
Yet the girls wave, can’t look away
Cologne from the shelf at the corner store
Dollar scent, dollar dreams, sweeps ‘em off the floor
Ladies laugh, still let him in
Rags or riches, same old grin
Outro
Hand-me-down dreams, goodwill ties
Midnight breeze, open skies
He don’t hide, he don’t mind
Jethro rides, Jethro shines
