Daddy's brand-new bass boat

Cost him two weeks on the couch

Fourteen dozen roses and his boys night out

But when he test drove that new Bronco

Mamma test fly her fryin' pan

She said from now on the buck stops here in my
hand

Chorus:

Daddy had a good name

Wore it right there on his shirt

Everybody knew he didn't run from work

Mamma cut corners and coupons

But still took time to dream

Never livin' without out means

(Chorus)
