Yeah, well I spent a lifetime   Just makin' up my mind to be   More than the measure of   What I thought others could see      Good luck and those fast bucks   Are too few and too far between   Those other Cadillac drivers   And those old five and dimers like me      You know, she stood beside me   Tellin' me she would be   Somethin' to lean on   Everythin' ran out on me      No fenced yards ain't hole cards   Like as not, never will be   Any reason for rhymers   And those old five and dimers like me, alright      Now I've searched for so long   Now that I've found that 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   Yeah, too much just ain't enough   For those old five and dimers like me      I guess an old five and dimer   Is all I intended to be, alright
