Daddy's brand new bass boat cost him two weeks on the couch
Fourteen dozen roses and his boy's night out
But when he test drove that new bronco
Mama test threw a fryin pan
She said, 'From now on, the buck stops here in my hand.'

Daddy made the dollars, mama made the sense
Daddy never questioned one penny mama pinched
We all knew where it came from, but she knew where it went
Daddy made the dollars, mama made the sense

Daddy had a good name and wore it right there on his shirt
Everybody know he did't run from work
Mama cut corners and coupons still took time to dream
Never livin' without livin' within our means

Daddy made the dollars, mama made the sense
Daddy never questioned one penny mama pinched
We all knew where it came from, but she knew where it went
Daddy made the dollars, mama made the sense

Daddy made the dollars, mama made the sense
Daddy never questioned one penny mama pinched
We all knew where it came from, but she knew where it went
Daddy made the dollars, mama made the sense
Daddy made the dollars, mama made the sense
