[Verse]
    F                
My feet get wet every
  Bb
 time it rains
          C          
From the holes in the 
             Dm
soles of my old Red Wings
 F
Truck needs tires
 Bb
House needs paint
C                  F
But they're gonna have to wait
    F                   
If she's cutting coupons,
  Bb
 I'm cutting back
 C                    
Workin' overtime lunch
         Dm
 takin' lunch in a sack
 F                  
Bills get checks and
  Bb
 groceries get cash
       C               F
Ain't much left after that

[Chorus]
              F
For a little boy with
    Bb        C   
His eye on a brand
             Dm
 new rod and reel
               F  
Have a little girl 
           Bb
with her heart set
      C            
On a dollhouse that 
          F
I can't build
         F               
Oh, the life's still good 
      Bb
and God's still great
    C                
To walk in here every
  Dm
 other Friday
     F                     
And put a little more down,
 Bb                 C
 put a little more down
F
On layaway
F  Bb  C   F
[Verse]
   F               
A dog-eared page in
    Bb
 a magazine
       C               
Where she was flippin'
                   Dm
 through it lookin' at a ring
   F                 
I doubled the size of 
     Bb
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            
To me right now, 
              Dm
there ain't nothin' 
more important
      F                 
Than havin' that rock in
