***************** OLD FIVE AND DIMERS (LIKE ME) *****************
written by Billy Joe Shaver
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
A E
I’ve spent a lifetime,making up my mind to be
A
More than the measure of what i thought others could see
D
Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between
E A
Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers like me
Verse 2:
A E
She stood beside me letting me know she would be
A
Something to lean on when everything ran out on me
D
Fenced yards ain’t hole cards and like as not never will be
E A
Reasons for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
Verse 3:
A E
It’s taken me so long but now that i know i believe
A
All that i do or say is all that i ever will be
D
Too far and too high and too deep ain’t too much to be
E A
Too much ain’t enough for old five and dimers like me
E A
An old five and dimer was all i intented to be
