C                                 
I've spent the lifetime making up 
           G
my mind to be,
G
more than the measure of what I 
thought others
      C
could see.
C             G                  
Good luck and fast bucks they're 
C           C7
too few and too
      F
far between.
        G
There's Cadillac buyers and old five
 and dimers
     C
like me.

She stood beside me letting me 
            G
know she would be,
G                                 
something to lean on when 
              C
everything ran out on me.
C
Well, fenced yards ain't hole cards 
and like as not
           F       G

Well, it's taken me so long now, 
                 G
that I know I believe,
G                                 
all that I do or say is all I ever
      C
 will be.
C                                 
Too far and too high and too deep 
      C7          F
ain't too much to see.
G                                 
Too much ain't enough for old five
                 C
 and dimers like me.
   G                          
An old five and dimer is all I 
             C  F
intended to be.

OUTRO:

You know country people don't shine 
their boots very
      F
often.
                     C           
And they don't shine other folks' 
              G
boots either.
C
thank you.
