(If I Had Me) Five Dollars I just busted the reverb, on my old Fender amp The left speaker?s been blown, 'bout a month and a half And I?m doin? my best, tryin? to keep up with things If I had me five dollars, I could buy some new strings. I got laid off last winter, just before Christmas day Then I slipped on a sidewalk and broke my left leg If it gets any better, I can work by the spring Maybe save up five dollars, and buy some new strings. I'm just tryin? to get by, tryin? to put some away Between the gas price and the groceries, there ain?t nothin? left It ain?t paycheck to paycheck, it?s day by long day But if I had me five dollars, I?d buy some new strings. The plant?s suppossed to re- open, maybe this June Takes me over an hour, to get this thing in tune And the lights, they got shut off, early last week But if I had me five dollars, I?d buy some new strings Maybe write me a song, for some big superstar Sell four million records, get the wife that new car Pay off all our debt, build the house of our dreams. Buy myself a new gui--tar, with six brand new strings, But the muffler fell off of my Bronco today And the furnace been sayin? some terrible things I got all I can do, to keep from cryin? out loud ?Cause the washer just blew up, and the TV died out. And it looks like them new strings will just have to wait. Yeah, it looks like them new strings, will just have to wait. . . . Say, I wonder if Driftwood?s cousin Charlie?d give me 5 dollars for that old TV . . . . |
