Old Five And Dimers Like Me Lyrics - All I Intended To Be - Emmylou Harris

I 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 

Yes 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 is not never will be 

Reason 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 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

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 

And an old five and dimer is all I intended to be
