***************** OLD FIVE AND DIMERS (LIKE ME) *****************
written by Billy Joe Shaver
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
I ve 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
Verse 2:
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 as not never will be
Reasons for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
Verse 3:
It s taken me so long but now that i know i believe
All that i do or say is 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
An old five and dimer was all i intented to be
Thanks to David M. Potter for the lyrics.
