^CI've spent the lifetime making up my mind to ^Gbe, ^Gmore than the measure of what I thought others could ^Csee. ^CGood luck and ^Gfast bucks they're ^Ctoo few and ^C7too far be^Ftween. There's ^GCadillac buyers and old five and dimers like ^Cme.

^CShe stood beside me letting me know she would ^Gbe, ^Gsomething to lean on when everything ran out on ^Cme. ^CWell, fenced yards ain't hole cards and like as not never will ^Fbe..the ^Greason for rhymers and old five and dimers like ^Cme.

Well, it's ^Ctaken me so long now, that I know I be^Glieve, ^Gall that I do or say is all I ever will ^Cbe. ^CToo far and too high and too deep ain't ^C7too much to ^Fsee. ^GToo much ain't enough for old five and dimers like ^Cme. An ^Gold five and dimer is all I intended to ^Cbe.^F
