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 are too far and too few between
 Catalog 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 is not never will be
 Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me.


 It'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 me.


 Mhm, mhm, an old five and dimer is all I intended to be...
