The Dollar
By: Jamey Johnson
D A
Daddy hugs his little man, says son I’ve got to go
G A
And pulls out of the drive and disappears
D A
As they walk back in the house the young boy asks his mama
G A
Where does daddy go when he leaves here
D A
Mama tells her little man, Your daddy’s got a job
G A
And when he goes to work they pay him for his time
D A
Well the young boy gets to thinking and he heads up to his bedroom
G A
Comes running back with a quarter and four dimes
Chorus 1:
G A D
And says mama how much time will this buy me
G D C A
Is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street
G F# Bm A G
If I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need
Em A D
To spend some time with me
D A
The young boy tells his mama now I know daddy’s busy
G A
Cause most times when he gets home it’s dark outside
D A
But tell him I’ve got me some pennies saved up from the tooth fairy
G A
And I keep ‘em in my piggy bank and I believe there’s thirty-five
Chorus 2:
G A D
And says mama how much time will this buy me
G D C A
Is it enough to take me campin' in a tent down by the creek
G F# Bm A G
If I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need
Em A D
To spend some time with me
Chorus 3:
G A D
Mama how much time will this buy me
G D C A
Is it enough for just an afternoon a day or a whole week
G F# Bm A G
If I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need
Em A D
To spend some time with me
D A
Mama takes her little man sets him on her lap
G A
And starts dialing up some numbers on the phone
D A
She says daddy come home early you don’t have to chase that dollar
G A
Cause your little man has got one here at home
