Jerry Jeff Walker - Old Five And Dimers Lyrics

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, everything 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

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
