Old Five And Dimers Like Me - Jerry Jeff Walker

Yea, 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 something to lean on

When 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
