***************** OLD FIVE AND DIMERS (LIKE ME) ***************** written by Billy Joe Shaver performed by Waylon Jennings. Verse 1:

I've spe^Ant a lifetime,making up my mind to be ^E More than the measure of what i thought others could see ^A Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between ^D Cadillac ^Ebuyers and old five and dimers like me ^A

Verse 2:

She stoo^Ad beside me letting me know she would be ^E Something to lean on when everything ran out on me ^A Fenced yards ain't hole cards and like as not never will be ^D Reasons f^Eor rhymers and old five and dimers like me ^A

Verse 3:

It's tak^Aen me so long but now that i know i believe ^E All that i do or say is all that i ever will be ^A Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be ^D Too much ain^E't enough for old five and dimers like me ^A

An old five^E and dimer was all i intented to be ^A
