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 asks 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 
                                         
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’m a little short then how much more does daddy need
                      
to spend some time with me
