Lyrics
My feet get wet every time it rains
From the holes in the soles of my old Red Wings
Truck needs tires, house needs paint
But they gonna have to wait
She's cutting coupons, I'm cutting back
Working overtime, taking lunch in a sack
Bills get checks and groceries get cash
Ain't much left after that
For a little boy with his eye on
A brand new rod and reel
And a little girl with her heart set
On a doll house that I can't build
Ah, the life's still good and God's still great
To walk in here every other Friday
And put a little more down, put a little more down
On layaway
A dog eared page in a magazine from where
She was flipping through it looking at a ring
'Bout double the size of the one she got on
But that ain't saying much
She'd never ask for it, she knows we can't afford it
But for me right now, there ain't nothing more important
Than having that rock in my dip can pocket
And lighting her up one day
Yeah, so put it on layaway
I got a little boy with his eye on
A brand new rod and reel
And a little girl with her heart set
On a doll house that I can't build
Ah, the life's still good and God's still great
To walk in here every other Friday
And put a little more down, put a little more down
On layaway
You know it's hard to save for a rainy day
When you're trying to keep your head above the water
But it'll all be worth it when I see her face
When she sees this ring I bought her
And my little boy when I hand him
A brand new rod and reel
And my little girl when she walks in
On a doll house that I can't build
Ah, the life's so good and God's so great
To walk in there this past Friday
And put a little more down, I don't owe a dime now
On layaway
And I don't owe a dime now
It's all mine now
