Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

  I've spent a lifetime,making up my mind to be

  More than the measure of what i thought others could see

  Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between

  Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers like me

Verse 2

  She stood beside me letting me know she would be

  Something to lean on when everything ran out on me

  Fenced yards ain't hole cards and like as not never will be

  Reasons for rhymers and old five and dimers like me

Verse 3

  It's taken me so long but now that i know i believe

  All that i do or say is all that i ever will be

  Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be

  Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me

  An old five and dimer was all i intented to be
