Layaway

[00:13.41] My feet get wet every time it rains
[00:16.46] From the holes in the soles of my old Red Wings
[00:19.98] Truck needs tires, house needs paint
[00:23.02] But they gonna have to wait
[00:26.29] Yeah, she's cuttin' coupons, I'm cuttin' back
[00:29.66] Workin' overtime, takin' lunch in a sack
[00:32.81] Bills get checks and groceries get cash
[00:35.84] Ain't much left after that
[00:38.31] For a little boy with his eye on
[00:42.28] A brand-new rod and reel
[00:44.79] And a little girl with her heart set
[00:48.49] On a dollhouse that I can't build
[00:51.30] Aw, well, life's still good and God's still great
[00:55.03] To walk in here every other Friday
[00:58.33] And put a little more down, put a little more down on
[01:03.48] On layaway
[01:06.53]
[01:11.05] A dog-eared page in a magazine
[01:13.94] From where she was flippin' through it, lookin' at a ring
[01:17.41] 'Bout double the size of the one she got on
[01:20.79] But that ain't sayin' much
[01:23.53] She'd never ask for it, she knows we can't afford it
[01:27.08] To me right now, there ain't nothin' more important
[01:30.35] Than havin' that rock in my dip can pocket
[01:33.43] And lightin' her up one day
[01:36.01] Yeah, so put it on layaway
[01:39.03] I got a little boy with his eye on
[01:43.19] A brand-new rod and reel
[01:45.58] And a little girl with her heart set
[01:49.35] On a dollhouse that I can't build
[01:52.05] Aw, well, life's still good and God's still great
[01:55.92] To walk in here every other Friday
[01:59.05] And put a little more down, put a little more down on
[02:04.20] On layaway
[02:07.86]
[02:17.99] You know it's hard to save for a rainy day
[02:21.27] When you're tryin' to keep your head above the water
[02:24.69] But it'll all be worth it when I see her face
[02:27.74] When she sees this ring I bought her
[02:30.48] And my little boy when I hand him
[02:34.32] A brand-new rod and reel
[02:36.85] And my little girl when she walks in
[02:40.46] On a dollhouse that I can't build
[02:43.21] Aw, well, life's so good and God's so great
[02:47.05] To walk in there this past Friday
[02:50.36] And put a little more down, I don't owe a dime now
[02:55.43] On layaway
[02:58.99]
[03:01.68] And I don't owe a dime now
[03:04.85] Well, it's all mine now
[03:07.90] I bought it on layaway
[03:08.89]
