Old Five and Dimers Like Me Lyrics
by Tom T. Hall
INTRO: F C G
#1.
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 Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers
like me.
#2.
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 as not
never will be..the reason for rhymers and old five
and dimers like me.
INTERLUDE: G F C F C G
#3.
Well, it's taken 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.
OUTRO:
You know country people don't shine their boots very
often.
And they don't shine other folks' boots either.
thank you.
