Old Five And Dimers Like Me
Billy Shaver
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 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 hole cards and like as not never will be
Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me, mm
It's taking me so long, now that I know I believe
All that I do or say is all I ever will be
Too far and too high, too deep ain't too much to be
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
Mm
An old five and dimer is all I intended to be
