Old Five and Dimers Like Me

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...
