I Wish I Had a Dollar Songtext
von Uncle Kracker

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

I've been lost in Boston, Austin, Texas is always sweet
I stumbled around that Texas town, but I never left Sixth Street
You know, it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away
And it seems I've spent a lifetime tryin' to make everything ok

I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright


I wish sometimes that I could say that she never told me so
And I'd walk a million miles on down the same old broken road
Now you can always reap just what you sow, I know that's true
And I pray some day that I wake and my poor feet won't fit these shoes

I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

If I listened closely, I can hear it, oh, so clear
Like a southbound train, like fallin' rain, like a whisper in my ear
Everything I'd like to hear, I don't hear much no more
But I know someday that you'll come my way and you'll walk right through that door


I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
