When the Wallet's Tucked Away

מילים

[Verse 1] Dad, you slip me twenty with a wink across the room Say, “Spend it on a snack,” like you know I’ll be back soon You make a little pocket feel like winning the whole day And somehow every small thing turns into a reason to say [Chorus] I love you for the money, sure, that part is pretty great But I love you when the wallet’s tucked away Any kind of way, through the ordinary days You’re my dad, and I’m glad you’re here to stay [Verse 2] You plan a trip on Sunday, then you pack before the dawn Take the long road past the farm and keep the radio on We stop for pie in a town I never knew to name You tell the same old stories, and I laugh at them again [Chorus] I love you for the money, sure, that part is pretty great But I love you when the wallet’s tucked away Any kind of way, through the ordinary days You’re my dad, and I’m glad you’re here to stay [Bridge] It isn’t just the places or the cash you hand to me It’s how you make a little time feel like a memory [Final Chorus] I love you for the money, sure, that part is pretty great But I love you when the wallet’s tucked away Any kind of way, whatever comes our way You’re my dad, and I love you every day [Outro] You’re my dad, and I love you every day
