I've spent a lifetime Making up my mind to be More than the measure of What I thought others could see Good look and fast bucks are too far and too few between Five Cadillac 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 Fenced yard ain't hole cards and like as not never will be Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me ♪ It's taking me so long Now that I know, I believe All that I do and say is all I ever will be Too far and too high Too deep ain't too much to me Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
