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 luck and fast bucks

Are too far and too few between

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 yards ain't hold cards

And like as not never will be

Reasons for rhymers

And old five and dimers like me

It's taken me so long

But now that I know i believe

All that I do or say

Is all that i ever will be

Too much ain't enough

For old five and dimers like me

Too far and too high

And too deep ain't too much to see

An old five and dimer

Is all I intented to be
