Verse 1

Yeah, well [G]I spent a lifetime
Just makin' up my mind to [D7]be
[D7]More than the measure of
What I thought others could [G]see
[G]Good luck and those fast bucks
Are [G7]too few and too far [C]between
Those other [D7]Cadillac drivers
And those old five and dimers like [G]me

Verse 2

You know, [G]she stood beside me
Tellin' me she would [D7]be
[D7]Somethin' to lean on
Everythin' ran out on [G]me
No [G]fenced yards ain't hole cards
[G7]Like as not, never will [C]be
Any [D7]reason for rhymers
And those old five and dimers like [G]me, alright

Now [G]I've searched for so long
Now that I've found that I [D7]believe
[D7]All that I do or say
Is all I ever will [G]be
[G]Too far and too high and too deep
[G7]Ain't too much to [C]be
Yeah, [D7]too much just ain't enough
For those old five and dimers like [G]me
I guess an [D7]old five and dimer
Is all I intended to [G]be, [D7]alright[G]
