I Wish I Had A Dollar Lyrics

[Chorus]

 

 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 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 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 sew 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 south bound train like fallin' rain like a whisper in my ear

 Everything I'd like to hear you know I don't hear much no more

 But I know someday that you'll come my way and you'll walk right thru 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
