[Verse 1]
         G
It was a red go-kart, a big backyard.
G
It was summer trips on the credit card.
  Em                          C
A new pair of shoes the first day of school,
C
So I could feel cool.

         G
It was a hand-me-down Chevy when I turned 16.
G
A twenty on the counter for some gasoline.
       Em                 C
It was free to me. It was mom and daddy's money.


[Chorus]
Em                         C                        G
  Never knew where it came from, just knew where it went.
        D                    Em
Hard to come by, but easy to spend.
             C
If times got tough, man, I couldn't tell.
G                 D
They went through Hell so I could live
       C
In the land of milk and honey on
D                     G   G
Mom and daddy's money


[Verse 2]
G
Part-time jobs and mowin' yards
G
Don't cover car wrecks and broken arms,
         Em                C
But they had my back, even when they knew
C
I couldn't pay 'em back.

    G
The older I got, the more I saw
G
This whole time, it was time they bought.
            Em
They looked out for me 'till I didn't need
C
Mom and daddy's money.


[Chorus]
Em                         C                        G
  Never knew where it came from, just knew where it went.
        D                    Em
Hard to come by, but easy to spend.
             C
If times got tough, man, I couldn't tell.
G                 D
They went through Hell so I could live
       C
In the land of milk and honey on
D                            G    G
Mom and daddy's money, ey ey ey.


[Bridge]
D                          C
  Well, dollars only go so far.
                       D
No, they'll never be enough.
                              C
The money runs out, but their love, it never does.
C
And that's mom and daddy's money.


[Chorus]
Em                         C                        G     D
  Now I know where it came from, and I know what it meant.
Em                    C                   G          D
  I know it's hard to come by and easy to spend, end end
Em                 C                      G
  And if times get tough, man, I'll never tell.
                D
I'll go through Hell so they can live
       C
In the land of milk and honey on
D
Mom and daddy's money.


[Outro]
C                      D                            G
Ain't it kinda funny – mom and daddy's money, ey ey ey.

G
Lookin' back it ain't hard to see all the
                                           Em
Little things that they did for me, and if I'm lucky
          D                     C
One day a little voice will ask me...
