Billy Joe Shaver — Old Five And Dimers lyrics

Lyrics

I’ve spent a lifetime, making up my mind to be E E7 A 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 She stood beside me letting me know she would be Something to lean on when everything ran out on me Fenced yards ain’t hold cards and like as not never will be Reasons for rhymers and old five and dimers like me 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
