OLD FIVE AND DIMERS LIKE ME
I spent a lifetime making 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
Yes, she stood beside me letting me know she would be
Well, something to lean on when everything ran out on me
Fenced yards ain't hole cards and 'like' is not 'never will be'
Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me
It's taken me so long but now that I know, I believe
All that I do or say, all that I ever will be
Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me
And an old five and dimer is all I intended to be.

STARA PETICA I DIMERI KAO I JA
Provela sam ceo život odlučujući da budem
Više od mere onoga što sam mislila da drugi mogu videti
Sreća i brzi novac su predaleko i premalo između
Kupaca kadilaka i stare petice i dimera poput mene
Da, stajala je pored mene dajući mi do znanja da će biti
Pa, nešto na šta se mogu osloniti kad mi je sve ponestalo
Ograđena dvorišta nisu karte i 'lajk' nije 'nikad neće biti'
Razlog za rimovače i stare petice i dimere poput mene
Trebalo mi je toliko vremena, ali sada kada znam, verujem
Sve što radim ili kažem, sve što ću ikada biti
Predaleko i previsoko i preduboko nije previše da bi bilo
Previše nije dovoljno za stare petice i dimere poput mene
Predaleko i previsoko i preduboko nije previše da bi bilo
Previše nije dovoljno za stare petice i dimere poput mene
A stara petica i dimer je sve što sam nameravala da budem.

/THE OLD FIVE AND DIMER - je naziv za stare prodavnice razne, često vredne, neočekivane robe./ Prevod teksta ove pesme doslovno, na srpski jezik, je problematičan, jer ima prilično lokalnih izraza
