Lyrics
Let me tell y'all a little story
Johnny's mama never told him who his papa was
All she said was, "He's long gone, now it's just the two of us"
One day the telephone rang around about supper time
It was this daddy's lawyer on the other line
Yeah, Johnny's daddy was a wealthy Talsa Millionaire
When he died he left behind everything to just one heir
Airplanes and limousines, it all happen so fast
Turning daddy's money into Johnny's cash
From rags to riches, from an old Ford to a Coup Deville
From a trailer park in Georgia to a house up in the hills
Livin' like he did, Lord, he never knew what he didn't have
Now that daddy's money is Johnny's cash
Now Johnny can't believe all the new friends he has
Since he stopped bummin' beers and started picking up the tab
They'll sing a song and tag along as long as it will last
'Cause it ain't their money it's Johnny's cash
From rags to riches from an old Ford to a Coup Deville
From a trailer park in Georgia to a house up in the hills
Livin' like he did, Lord, he never knew what he didn't have
Now that daddy's money is Johnny's cash
Yeah, he said "I could get used to this"
When his redhead cover girlfriend gave him a kiss, yeah
Whoa, livin' like he did, Lord, he never knew what he didn't have
Now that daddy's money
I said, daddy's money
Yeah, daddy's money is Johnny's cash
Oh, it's all Johnny's cash
Don't spend it all in one place boy
