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
