F Bb C F
[Verse]
F Bb
My feet get wet every time it rains
C Dm
From the holes in the soles of my old Red Wings
F
Truck needs tires
Bb
House needs paint
C F
But they're gonna have to wait
F Bb
If she's cutting coupons, I'm cutting back
C Dm
Workin' overtime lunch takin' lunch in a sack
F Bb
Bills get checks and groceries get cash
C F
Ain't much left after that
[Chorus]
F
For a little boy with
Bb C Dm
His eye on a brand new rod and reel
F Bb
Have a little girl with her heart set
C F
On a dollhouse that I can't build
F Bb
Oh, the life's still good and God's still great
C Dm
To walk in here every other Friday
F Bb C
And put a little more down, put a little more down
F
On layaway
F Bb C F
[Verse]
F Bb
A dog-eared page in a magazine
C Dm
Where she was flippin' through it lookin' at a ring
F Bb
I doubled the size of the one she got on
C F
But that ain't sayin' much
F
She never asked for it
Bb
She knows we can't afford it
C Dm
To me right now, there ain't nothin' more important
F Bb
Than havin' that rock in my dip can pocket
C F
And lightin' her up one day
C
Yeah, so put it on layaway
[Chorus]
F
I got a little boy with
Bb C Dm7
His eye on a brand new rod and reel
F Bb
Have a little girl with her heart set
C F
On a dollhouse that I can't build
F Bb
Oh, the life's still good and God's still great
C Dm
To walk in here every other Friday
F Bb C
And put a little more down, put a little more down
F
On layaway
[Instrumental]

F Bb C F
[Bridge]
F Bb
You know it's hard to save for a rainy day
C Dm
When you're trying to keep your head above the water
F Bb
But it'll all be worth it when I see her face
C F
When she see's this ring I bought her
[Chorus]
F Bb
And my little boy when I hand him
C Dm
A brand new rod and reel
F
And my little girl when
Bb C F
She walks in on a dollhouse that I can't build
F Bb
Oh, the life's so good and God's so great
C Dm
To walk in there this past Friday
F Bb C
And put a little more down, I don't owe a dime noooow
F
On layaway
F Bb C
[Outro]
Dm F
And I don't owe a dime now
Bb C
And it's all mine now
F
I bought it on layaway
F Bb C Dm
F Bb C F
