Daddy's Money
Ricochet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My attention span done turned off
I'm honed in on that angel singing
Up there in the choir loft
She's got her daddy's money
Her mama's good looks
More laughs than a stack of comic books
A wild imagination
A college education
Add it all up it's a deadly combination
She's a good bass fisher
A dynamite kisser
Country as a turnip green
She's got her daddy's money
Her mama's good looks
And look who's lookin' at me
Her second cousin was my third grade teacher
I used to cut her grandma's grass
Back then she was nothin' but knees and elbows
Golly did she grow up fast
She's got her daddy's money
Her mama's good looks
More laughs than a stack of comic books
A wild imagination
A college education
Add it all up it's a deadly combination
She's a good bass fisher
A dynamite kisser
Country as a turnip green
She's got her daddy's money
Her mama's good looks
And look who's lookin' at me
Lord if you got any miracles handy
Maybe you could grant me one
Just let me walk down the aisle
And say I do
To that angel with a choir robe on
She's got her daddy's money
Her mama's good looks
More laughs than a stack of comic books
A wild imagination
A college education
Add it all up it's a deadly combination
She's a good bass fisher
A dynamite kisser
Country as a turnip green
She's got her daddy's money
Her mama's good looks
And look who's lookin' at me
She's got her daddy's money
Her mama's good looks
And she's lookin' at me
The song "Daddy’s Money" is a fun and catchy country tune performed by the band Ricochet. It tells the story of a guy who has been captivated by a girl who sings in the choir at church.

He is fascinated by this girl who has a combination of good looks, wealth, education, humor, wild imagination, and a passion for bass fishing.
The lyrics describe the admiration the guy has for this girl, who seems to have everything he could want in a partner. She has her father's wealth and her mother's beauty, with an added bonus of having a great sense of humor. The girl is also highly educated with a wild imagination, making her a deadly combination. She is good at bass fishing and a dynamite kisser, making the guy feel even more attracted to her. The last verse of the song has the guy praying for a miracle, hoping that he will be able to marry her one day, and that she will be looking at him the same way he looks at her.
Overall, "Daddy's Money" is a lighthearted and fun song that tells the story of a guy who has found his ideal girl but is too shy to approach her. He is smitten with her looks, wealth, education, humor, and passion for bass fishing.
