Verse 1:
                                                  
	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


Verse 2:
                                                     
	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
                                                       
	Reasons for rhymers and old five and dimers like me


Verse 3:
                                                       
	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 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

                                                  
	An old five and dimer was all i intented to be
