Scott Walker - Old Five And Dimers Like Me Lyrics
I've spent a lifetime makin' 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
Something to lean on when everything ran out on me
Well-fenced yards ain't old cars, and I guess not never will be
The reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
It's takin' me so long now that I know I believe
All that I do will say is all I ever will be
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
Too far, too high, and too deep ain't too much to see
And old five and dimers is all I intended to be

I think Waylon Jennings version is the best !!!!! He should of done it live more often.
I agree, I think Tom T's version of this classic is the best.
Tom T. Hall is the man. However.....Jerry Jeff's version is the definitive. This rendering is a bit too slow.
Tom t. Is one of the best
Once upon a long time ago in a galaxy far far away there were troubadours who put pen to paper and wrote country music.
Jerry Jeff did this song really well also.
I wish country was like it used to be real country music
shona goobie
Damn, Billy Joe can write a country song.
Great backing instruments, esp. Charlie McCoy on the harmonica, but Tom's singing is the best of all the versions released. A master interpreter of other songs made by other singers.
One of my favorites Tom T and Donald J two of my human here's
Can not say anything, except excellent, always!
A g singer songwriter and a true genius
Gerard, I like Toms version but Billy Joe Shaver is the man who wrote this jewel. He can’t be beat on a song he composed.
yes this would be my eight track when it would still play ill just get kathy rosenblaths husband to rewind it
and put it in a new case
i like this song but i find it annoying
Don't listen to it then
I remember when 5 and 10 cents would buy something !
The young Tom T. bears a resemblance to Sam Kinnison, the late great comedian.
Monty Jay lol the last great comedian.
I've never met Tom T. Hall, I went to every show he did in our area, but I never met the man. I don't think my dad ever met him either, so it's absolutely mind boggling to me how he got him portrayed in this song every time I hear it I see him in my mind. I miss him lots.
Harvey Hyland; It's a great song, but Billy Joe Shaver wrote it
Harvey Hyland ^_^ I believe you. I feel the same about mine. All the best...memories and all.
Beautiful version , Tom is great as usual
You can be proud of this gentleman :-)
Magnifique chanson, l'interpretation de Tom T. Hall est ma préférée.
A wonderful song, Tom T. Hall is magnificent, as usual
The sound is the true cut of the original thanx fer postin I love this set ... ^5 Stavo!!!
