Old Five and Dimers

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

For Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers like meShe stood beside me letting me know she would be

Something to lean on when everything ran out on me

Fenced yards ain't hole cards and like as not never will be

Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like meIt's taking me so long and now that I know 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

Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like meYeah, an old five and dimer is all I really meant to be
