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 they're too few and too far between 
There's catalog buyers and old five and dimers like me 
She stood beside me letting me know she would be 
Something to lean on if everything ran out on me 
Well fenced yards ain't hole cards and like is not ever will be 
The reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me

It's taking me so long now that I know I believe 
All that I do or say is all I ever will 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 see 
An old five and dimer is all I intended to be
