Intro
Verse 1
We Had Dreams Bigger Than This Small Town
White Picket Fence Now It's Fallin' Down
You Swore Love Was Worth More Than Gold
But Promises Fade When The Nights Get Cold
I Pawned My Ring Just To Pay The Light
You're Out Drinkin' Somewhere Tonight
Ain't No Riches In An Empty Bed
Just Echoes Of The Words You Said
Chorus
A Day Late And A Dollar Short
That's How You Came Back To My Door
Too Broke To Fix What You Tore Apart
Money Can't Buy Happiness - Or My Heart
We Had It All Then We Lost It Somehow
Guess Poverty's Our Preacher Now
You Can't Cash In What Love Once Bought
We're A Day Late And A Dollar Short
Verse 2
You Chased Luck Down A Backroad Dream
Spent Our Years On A Slot Machine
Now The Bills Pile Up Where The Letters Should Be
And I'm Singin' To Ghosts Of What Used To Be
Our Old Porch Swing Still Creaks Your Name
Wind Blows Soft But It Don't Sound The Same
I'd Trade These Tears For A Tank Of Hope
But The Bank Took Even My Last Rope
Chorus
A Day Late And A Dollar Short
That's How You Came Back To My Door
Too Broke To Fix What You Tore Apart
Money Can't Buy Happiness - Or My Heart
We Had It All Then We Lost It Somehow
Guess Poverty's Our Preacher Now
You Can't Cash In What Love Once Bought
We're A Day Late And A Dollar Short
Verse 3
Now I Walk By The Church In My Sunday Dress
Prayin' For Peace But I Get Regret
You Said Forever But Forever's Gone
Now I'm Hummin' Goodbye In A Hurtin' Song
Chorus
A Day Late And A Dollar Short
You're Standin' Where Dreams Ran Out Of Course
Too Broke To Fix What You Tore Apart
Money Can't Buy Happiness - Or My Heart
Love Don't Live Where The Lights Went Out
I Whisper Your Name But I Don't Shout
You Can't Undo What Time Forgot
We're A Day Late And A Dollar Short (Fades Out On This Chord)
