Testo The Dollar - Jamey Johnson
Testo della canzone The Dollar (Jamey Johnson), tratta dall'album The Dollar
Daddy hugs his little man
Says, "Son, I've got to go"
And he pulls out of the drive and disappears
As they walk back in the house
The young boy asked his mama
"Where does daddy go when he leaves here?"
Mama tells her little man
"Your daddy's got a job
And when he goes to work, they pay him for his time"
Well, the young boy gets to thinking
And he heads up to his bedroom
Comes running back with a quarter and four dimes
And says, "Mama, how much time will this buy me?
Is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street?
If I'm a little short then how much more does daddy need
To spend some time with me?"
The young boy tells his mama
"Now, I know daddy's busy
'Cause most times when he gets home it's dark outside
But tell him I've got me some pennies
Saved up from the tooth fairy
And I keep 'em in my piggy bank, and I believe there's 35"
"And mama, how much time will that buy me?
Is it enough to take me camping in a tent down by the creek?
If I'm a little short then how much more does daddy need
To spend some time with me?"
"Mama, how much time will this buy me?
Is it enough for just an afternoon a day or a whole week?
If I'm a little short then how much more does daddy need
To spend some time with me?"
Mama takes her little man
Sets him on her lap
Starts dialing up some numbers on the phone
She says, "Daddy, come home early
You don't have to chase that dollar
'Cause your little man has got one here at home"
