A                                          E
I've spent a lifetime making up my mind to be
E                                                    A
More than the measure of what I thought others could see
A                                        A7          D
Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few be--tween
E                                            A
Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers like me
 
 
A                                              E
She stood beside me, letting me know she would be
E                                               A
Something to lean on when everything ran out on me
A                                               A7         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
 
 
A                                                E
It's taken me so long but now that I know, I be--lieve
E                                            A
All that I do or say is all that I ever will be
A                                      A7          D
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
E                                                   A
Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to see
E                                           A
An old five and dimer was all I intended to be
