Adam Doleac Mom And Daddy's Money
It was a red go-kart, a big backyard
It was summer trips on the credit card
A new pair of shoes the first day of school
So I could feel cool
It was a hand-me-down Chevy when I turned 16
A twenty on the counter for some gasoline
It was free to me. It was mom and daddy's money
Never knew where it came from, just knew where it went
Hard to come by, but easy to spend
If times got tough, man, I couldn't tell
They went through Hell so I could live
In the land of milk and honey on
Mom and daddy's money, money
Part-time jobs and mowin' yards
Don't cover car wrecks and broken arms
But they had my back, even when they knew
I couldn't pay 'em back
The older I got, the more I saw
This whole time, it was time they bought
They looked out for me 'till I didn't need
Mom and daddy's money
Never knew where it came from, just knew where it went
Hard to come by, but easy to spend
If times got tough, man, I couldn't tell
They went through Hell so I could live
In the land of milk and honey on
Mom and daddy's money
Well, dollars only go so far
No, they'll never be enough
The money runs out, but their love, it never does
And that's mom and daddy's money
Now I know where it came from, and I know what it meant
I know it's hard to come by and easy to spend
And if times get tough, man, I'll never tell
I'll go through Hell so they can live
In the land of milk and honey on
Mom and daddy's money
Ain't it kinda funny – mom and daddy's money, money
Lookin' back it ain't hard to see all the
Little things that they did for me, and if I'm lucky
One day a little voice will ask me
For mom and daddy's money
