※ 引述《loveyourself (I Still Believe)》之铭言:
: 07.Jamey Johnson - The Dollar
Jamey Johnson的小自传前面有稍稍提到(完整的还是去他的官网看了~~)
The Dollar的歌词写得相当平易近人,没什麽特别难的词汇。也因为听这首歌
比较没有太多的隔阂。
描叙的内容很多家庭都可能经历过,一个为家庭努力工作的父亲、一个持家的
母亲和一个天真无邪的小孩。小朋友总是会提出无数的问题,得到答案後通常
也会自己古锥的解读方法;就像这首歌词所写的,『妈妈告诉她的小宝贝,爸
爸因为花时间、精力工作才会拿到钱。』,小孩便想着如果他能够存点钱,那
麽爸爸是不是就能够花点时间陪陪他呢?
看似可爱的歌词却是有那麽点无奈、感伤。最後一段写着:
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’t have to chase that dollar
cause your little man has got one here at home
听到时有点鼻酸~这段写得很朴实动人。

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
the young boy tells his mama
now I know daddy’s busy
cause most times when he gets home it’s dark outside
but tell him I’ve got me some pennies
saved up from the tooth fairy
and I keep ‘em in my piggy bank and I believe there’s 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’m 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’m 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’t have to chase that dollar
cause your little man has got one here at home
