A Few Cents Short — текст песни (John Michael Montgomery)

Looking for spare change
To put gas in my car
But what I`ve found
Won`t get me very far

Seems lately the low times
Have hit me pretty hard
`Cause I`m a few cents short
From getting to where you are

I`m a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Ain`t it funny how the money
Can change our lives
`Cause I`m a few cents short
From losing you tonight

So I walked to a pay phone down the road
But a few dimes and a nickel is all I had
The operator wants more money
To place my call
But I`m a few cents short
If that don`t beat it all

I`m a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Ain`t it funny how the money
Can change our lives
`Cause I`m a few cents short
From losing you tonight

I`m a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Sure is funny how the money
Can change our lives
`Cause I`m a few cents short
From losing you tonight
Yes I`m a few cents short
And I`ll be losing you tonight
