Old Five And Dimers Like Me Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Yeah, well I spent a lifetime 

Just makin' up my mind to be 

More than the measure of 

What I thought others could see 

Good luck and those fast bucks 

Are too few and too far between 

Those other Cadillac drivers 

And those old five and dimers like me 

You know, she stood beside me 

Tellin' me she would be 

Somethin' to lean on 

Everythin' ran out on me 

No fenced yards ain't hole cards 

Like as not, never will be 

Any reason for rhymers 

And those old five and dimers like me, alright 

Now I've searched for so long 

Now that I've found that 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 be 

Yeah, too much just ain't enough 

For those old five and dimers like me 

I guess an old five and dimer 

Is all I intended to be, alright
