Old Five And Dimers Like Me

(альбом: It's A Good Night For Singin' - 1976)

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

You know, she stood beside me
Telling me she would be something to lean on
When everything ran out on me
No fenced yards ain't hole cards
Like as not, never will be
Any reason for rhymers
And those old five and dimers like me

Now I've searched for so long
Now that I've found that 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 be
Yeah, too much just ain't enough
For those old five and dimers like me
I guess an old five and dimer
Is all I intended to be
