I hated when dad picked up his wallet
'Cause that meant that he was lookin'
But I loved the sound that his pocket made
When he got home in the evenin'

I was always sad, mom was always great
Most nights he showed up time
Set his briefcase down like it didn't say a day
No, I never understood the times
But momma always left him a biz

Eighteen, said I'ma be anythin'
But just like my business
Sellin' houses to all those families
While his family sat at home missin' him
Got sick of playin' ball cash watchin'
All the other dads watch their kids
So I picked up a money time 'cause it wasn't bought like his

Now, I sound like him, and I look like him
And I walk like him, and I talk like him
And I try to make my wife sell
When she's mad 'cause I love my job like him
Now, I get it dad, it's a money paid
Between feedin' the kids and feedin' the dreams we chase
I guess the business doesn't fall too far from a wallet

Well, momma cleaned, and daddy worked
And I learned to pay the money
On McGregor Court, that's how we coped with all our greatest card
I know I held it against him
Throwin' that money against his card
But daddy never held it against me
'Cause I wasn't a father yet, not yet

Now, I sound like him, and I look like him
And I walk like him, and I talk like him
And I try to make my money done
When they're sad and it's all my fault like him
Now, I get it dad, it's a business time
Between feedin' the kids and feedin' the dreams we chase
I guess a card time doesn't fall too far from a wallet

It's a blessing and a curse in this case I looking around
Every time I pick it up, my kids say, "Daddy bought it down"
And I see me in them, and I feel him in me
Like the cash in the wallet and the money in the pocket
And I just putting when somebody says

That I sound like him, and I look like him
And I walk like him, and I talk like him
And I run to the Father when I hate nothin' at all like him
Yeah, I get it dad, it's a money act
Between feedin' the kids and feedin' the dreams we chase
I guess a card case doesn't fall too far from the wallet
