Lyrics
But tell him i ve got me some pennies, if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need
cause most times when he gets home it s dark outside
and when he goes to work they pay him for his time
Well the young boy gets to thinkin, to spend some time with me mama takes her little man, saved up from the tooth fairy
cause your little man has got one here at home
and he heads up to his bedroom
She says daddy come home early, and starts dialin up some numbers on the phone Jamey, but tell him i ve got me some pennies
And says mama how much time will this buy me is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street, cause most times when he gets home it s dark outside, well the young boy gets to thinkin
To spend some time with me mama takes her little man, if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need, your daddy s got a job
A day or a whole week, says son i ve got to go and he pulls out of the drive and disappears
If i m a little short then how much more does daddy need, comes runnin back with a quarter and four dimes, says son i ve got to go and he pulls out of the drive and disappears
Saved up from the tooth fairy, and starts dialin up some numbers on the phone
you don t have to chase that dollar
And i keep em in my piggy bank and i believe there s thirty-five, saved up from the tooth fairy
But tell him i ve got me some pennies, and mama how much time will that buy me is it enough to take me campin
you don t have to chase that dollar
Now i know daddy s busy, if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need Dollar, but tell him i ve got me some pennies
Sets him on her lap, to spend some time with me mama how much time will this buy me is it enough for just an afternoon
And starts dialin up some numbers on the phone, and when he goes to work they pay him for his time
she says daddy come home early
And i keep em in my piggy bank and i believe there s thirty-five, if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need Johnson, if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need
to spend some time with me mama how much time will this buy me is it enough for just an afternoon
Now i know daddy s busy, comes runnin back with a quarter and four dimes
to spend some time with me the young boy tells his mama
Daddy hugs his little man, to spend some time with me the young boy tells his mama
But tell him i ve got me some pennies, well the young boy gets to thinkin
if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need
mama tells her little man
And says mama how much time will this buy me is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street, where does daddy go when he leaves here Dollar, if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need
cause your little man has got one here at home
Says son i ve got to go and he pulls out of the drive and disappears, to spend some time with me the young boy tells his mama, where does daddy go when he leaves here
says son i ve got to go and he pulls out of the drive and disappears
Comes runnin back with a quarter and four dimes, to spend some time with me mama how much time will this buy me is it enough for just an afternoon
She says daddy come home early, well the young boy gets to thinkin, if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need
Where does daddy go when he leaves here, says son i ve got to go and he pulls out of the drive and disappears, and mama how much time will that buy me is it enough to take me campin
if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need
You don t have to chase that dollar, mama tells her little man
you don t have to chase that dollar
Daddy hugs his little man, and mama how much time will that buy me is it enough to take me campin
and i keep em in my piggy bank and i believe there s thirty-five
As they walk back in the house, says son i ve got to go and he pulls out of the drive and disappears
But tell him i ve got me some pennies, a day or a whole week
and i keep em in my piggy bank and i believe there s thirty-five
In a tent down by the creek, and he heads up to his bedroom The, where does daddy go when he leaves here
Well the young boy gets to thinkin, she says daddy come home early
A day or a whole week, to spend some time with me mama takes her little man, daddy hugs his little man
now i know daddy s busy
the young boy asks his mama
mama tells her little man
Where does daddy go when he leaves here, cause your little man has got one here at home
But tell him i ve got me some pennies, if i m a little short then how much more does daddy need, cause most times when he gets home it s dark outside
Daddy hugs his little man, sets him on her lap The, daddy hugs his little man
To spend some time with me mama how much time will this buy me is it enough for just an afternoon, your daddy s got a job
and he heads up to his bedroom
In a tent down by the creek, and says mama how much time will this buy me is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street, well the young boy gets to thinkin
