ALOE BLACC - I NEED A DOLLAR

お金がない、仕事がない、夢と現実のギャップ、砕かれたプライド・・・　

シンプルなのに、強くメッセージ性を感じる。
今の日本には、こういったソウルシンガーはいるのだろうか？



           

I NEED A DOLLAR
I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need (hey, hey)
Well I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need (hey, hey)
Said I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need
And if I share with you my story
Would you share your dollar with me
Bad times are coming
And I reaped what I done sewed (hey, hey)
Well Let me tell you something
All that glitters ain't gold (hey, hey)
It¹s been a long old troubled
Long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody
Come and help me carry this load (hey, hey)
I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need (hey, hey)
Well I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need
And I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
Because everything around me is falling down
And all I want is for someone to help me
I had a job but the bossman let me go (he said)
I¹m sorry but I won¹t be needing your help no more (I said)
I said, please Mr. Bossman I need this job more than you know
But he gave my last paycheck and he sent me on out the door (hey, hey)
I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need (hey, hey)
Said I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need (hey, hey)
And I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need
And if I share with you my story
Would you share your dollar with me
Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
Because everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me
What in the world am I gonna do tomorrow
Is there someone with a dollar I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe it's inside the bottle (maybe it's inside the bottle)
I had some good old buddies
Names is whiskey and wine (hey, hey)
And for my good old buddies
I spend my last dime (hey, hey)
Now wine is good to me
He help to pass the time
And my good old buddy whiskey
Keeps me warmer than sunshine (hey, hey)
Your mama may have
Bless the child that¹s got his own (hey, hey)
If God has plans
I hope it ain¹t written in stone (hey, hey)
Because I¹ve been working
Working myself down to the bone
And I swear on Grandpa's grave
I'll be paid when I come home (hey, hey)
I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need (hey, hey)
Well I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need (hey, hey)
Said I need a dollar, dollar, dollar
That¹s what I need
And if I share with you my story
Would you share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar with me
Go ahead share your dollar with
Come on share your dollar
Gimme your dollar
Share your dollar with me
Come on share you dollar with me
