Old Five and Dimers Like Me
I've spent a lifetime
Making up my mind to be
More than the measure of
What I thought others could see
Good look and fast bucks are too far and too few between
Five Cadillac buyers and
Old five and dimers like me
She stood beside me letting me know she would be
Something to lean on when everything ran out on me
Fenced yard ain't hole cards and like as not never will be
Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
It's taking me so long
Now that I know, I believe
All that I do and say is all I ever will be
Too far and too high
Too deep ain't too much to me
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
Making up my mind to be
More than the measure of
What I thought others could see
Good look and fast bucks are too far and too few between
Five Cadillac buyers and
Old five and dimers like me
She stood beside me letting me know she would be
Something to lean on when everything ran out on me
Fenced yard ain't hole cards and like as not never will be
Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
It's taking me so long
Now that I know, I believe
All that I do and say is all I ever will be
Too far and too high
Too deep ain't too much to me
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
