Lyrics - I Wish I Had a Dollar by Uncle Kracker

[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[repeat]
