Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for 16 Dollars lyrics by Volbeat

Featuring Jakob Øelund of Taggy Tones, this song talks about a guy who uses every dollar he has on booze and hookers, which is more a metaphor of individuals who seak solace in eascapisim, music, and the simpliar things in life. The clear message it is trying to tell us is that sometimes the simple things in life can give more pleasure than those that can be found with hard work; Enough fun can be had with as little as 16 dollars.
