Jerry Jeff Walker - Great Gonzos

Old Five And Dimers Like Me

Yeah, well I spent a lifetime
Just makin' up my mind to be
More than the measure of
What I thought others could see

Good luck and those fast bucks
Are too few and too far between
Those other Cadillac drivers
And those old five and dimers like me

You know, she stood beside me
Tellin' me she would be
Somethin' to lean on
Everythin' ran out on me

No fenced yards ain't hole cards
Like as not, never will be
Any reason for rhymers
And those old five and dimers like me, alright

Now I've searched for so long
Now that I've found that I believe
All that I do or say
Is all I ever will be

Too far and too high and too deep
Ain't too much to be
Yeah, too much just ain't enough
For those old five and dimers like me

I guess an old five and dimer
Is all I intended to be, alright
