[Tom T. Hall - Old Five And Dimers Like Me lyrics]
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
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
