    Wouldn't it be nice to walk into a "dollar store" and literally buy time?

    Story Behind the Song
    The story behind the song...

    Working a full-time job, going to school part time, playing in two different bands, involved with a girlfriend... Basically juggling many things. I started to get this notion in my head about "buying time." I noticed all these little "dollar stores" popping up everywhere. I thought it would be a neat idea to go pick up some "time for a dollar."

    This song didn't get recorded until two years after it was written. I left the two bands, ditched the girl, took a hiatus from school, and put together the band you're listening to now.

    Lyrics
    TIME FOR A DOLLAR

    I’ve got a dollar in my pocket
    I wish I could buy the hour hand
    And it don’t rest on my constitution
    When the hourglass run out of sand

    Give me time for a dollar, I got things to do
    Buy me a second, a minute or two
    Give me time for a dollar, I got things to do
    Buy me a second, a minute or two

    I’ve got a dollar for my pocket
    Wish I could buy some time with it
    Then I say, then you say, that these old games that we play
    They don’t make our time worth any shit

    Give me time for a dollar, I got things to do
    Buy me a second, a minute or two
    Give me time for a dollar, I got things to do
    Buy me a second, a minute or two

    I wish I could stay here
    and set the time
    all this it leads to you
    Hey brother could you spare some time, yeah
    Time for a dollar, time for a dollar

    I’ve got a dollar in my pocket
    I wish I could buy the hour hand
    And it don’t rest on my constitution, no, no, no
    When the hourglass run out of sand

    Give me time for a dollar, I got things to do
    Buy me a second, a minute or two
    Give me time for a dollar, I got things to do
    Buy me a second, a minute or two

    I wish I could stay here
    and set the time
    all this it leads to you
    Hey brother could you spare some time, yeah
    Time for a dollar, time for a dollar
