Yeah, well I spent a lifetime

Just makin' up my mind to be

Good luck and those fast bucks

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

Everythin' ran out on me

No fenced yards ain't hole cards

G7 C

Like as not, never will be

Any reason for rhymers

And those old five and dimers like me, alright

Now that I've found that I believe

All that I do or say

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

G D7 G

Is all I intended to be, alright
