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 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 when everything ran out on me |
Well fenced yards ain’t hole cards and like is not never will be |
The reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me |
Well 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 far and too high and too deep ain’t too much to see |
Too much ain’t enough for old five and dimers like me |
An old five and dimer is all I intended to be |
You know country people don’t shine their boots very often |
And they don’t shine other folks' boots either, thank you |
