I first heard the song about a year and a half ago. It starts out by a kid talking to his mom about where his dad is and his mom says he is with people because they pay him and thats how dad makes money. So the kid gathers up all the money he has and the chorus is the kid saying to his dad how much time will this get me. Please let me know cuz i have no idea who it is or what its called and it was a really good song Jamey Johnson - The dollar the dollar-jamey johnson The Dollar
Daddy hugs his little man
says son I鈥檝e got to go
and he pulls out of the drive and disappears
as they walk back in the house
the young boy asks his mama
where does daddy go when he leaves here
mama tells her little man
your daddy鈥檚 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
and comes running back with a quarter and four dimes
(chorus:)
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鈥檓 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鈥檚 busy
cause most times when he gets home it鈥檚 dark outside
but tell him I鈥檝e got me some pennies
saved up from the tooth fairy
and I keep 鈥榚m in my piggy bank and I believe there鈥檚 thirty-five
(chorus:)
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鈥檓 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鈥檓 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
and starts dialing up some numbers on the phone
she says daddy come home early
you don鈥檛 have to chase that dollar
cause your little man has got one here at home |
