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

more than the measure of what I thought others
      C
could see.

Good luck and fast bucks they're too few and too
      F
far between.

Well, it's taken me so long now, that I know I believe,
G                                       C
all that I do or say is all I ever will be.
C                                       C7          F
Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to see.
G                                                  C
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me.
   G                                       C  F
An old five and dimer is all I intended to be.
OUTRO:
C
You know country people don't shine their boots very
      F
often.
                     C                         G
And they don't shine other folks' boots either.
C
