Old Five And Dimers Like Me Lyrics - Storyteller Poet Philosopher - Tom T. Hall

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 ever 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)
