A E

I've spent a lifetime making up my mind to be

E A

More than the measure of what I thought others could see

A A7 D

Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between

E A

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 hole cards and, like as not, never will be

Reasons for rhymers and old five and dimers like me

Instrumental break

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 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 was all I intended to be
