John Michael Montgomery - A Few Cents Short lyrics

(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
