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
