A
His daddy said son you oughta quit dreamin'
E
Put your feet on the ground and your future in the hands of the Lord
A
But the boy said no that ain't enough dad
E A
All you got here is a ceiling' four walls and a floor
D A
He left his home in Buckalou County
E
He went thumbin' and sleepin' on the roadside livin' in jeans
A
Along about Pittsburgh he got him a good job
E A
Bought him a brand new Malibu Chevy that was part of his dreams
He met a pretty girl she was thinkin' of a family
E
He bought a lotta tapes for his Malibu Chevy but he didn't want more
A
And the pretty girl said boy you oughta slow down
E A
He said who needs a ceiling' four walls and a floor
D A
He did a little drinkin' he did a little gamblin'
E
Shot a little nine ball bet a little money on the football games
A
He picked up a habit he got it on the sidewalk
E A
His habit got bigger but his weekly paycheck stayed the same
His daddy wrote letters but he never answered
E
The pretty girl begged him to give up the habit and to work on a chain
A
It was a real small gun and a real small robbery
E A
They locked him up and they traded him a number for his name
D A
It ain't no big news it ain't no big story
E
You didn't see it in the paper so I guess we oughta put it in a song
A E
The boy got hooked and he couldn't get unhooked
A
And it's happenin' somewhere now and maybe that's what's wrong
A
His daddy said son you oughta quit dreamin'
E
Put your feet on the ground and your future in the hands of the Lord
A
But the boy said no that ain't enough dad
E A
All you got here is a ceiling' four walls and a floor
