I've spent the lifetime making up my mind to be   More than the measure of what I thought others could see   Good luck and fast bucks they're too few and too far between   There's catalog buyers and old five and dimers like me   She stood beside me letting me know she would be   Something to lean on if everything ran out on me   Well fenced yards ain't hole cards and like is not ever will be   The reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me   [ harmonica - guitar ]   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 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 intended to be
