I 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
|
|
Yes 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 taken me so long but now that I know I believe
|
All that I do or say 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
|
|
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
|
And an old five and dimer is all I intended to be
|
