A                 D                A       D
His daddy said son you oughta quit dreamin'
         A                                                      E
Put your feet on the ground and your future in the hands of the Lord
                 A  D            A        D
But the boy said no  that ain't enough dad
 
[Chorus]
            A                E                 A
All you got here is a ceilin' four walls and a floor
 
[Verse 1]
            D                A
He left his home in Buckalou County
        D                            A                  E
He went thumbin' and sleepin' on the roadside livin' in jeans
            A         D             A       D
Along about Pittsburgh he got him a good job
             A                E                          A
Bought him a brand new Malibu Chevy that was part of his dreams
                A   D                      A     D
He met a pretty girl she was thinkin' of a family
                  A                                             E
He bought a lotta tapes for his Malibu Chevy but he didn't want more
                    A    D               A        D
And the pretty girl said  boy you oughta slow down
 
[Chorus]
            A              E                 A
He said who needs a ceilin' four walls and a floor
 
[Verse 2]
                D                        A
He did a little drinkin' he did a little gamblin'
              D                      A                     E
Shot a little nine ball bet a little money on the football games
               A    D                 A       D
He picked up a habit he got it on the sidewalk
              A                     E                   A
His habit got bigger but his weekly paycheck stayed the same
                A      D             A       D
His daddy wrote letters but he never answered
                A                                                E
The pretty girl begged him to give up the habit and to work on a change
              A        D                 A      D
It was a real small gun and a real small robbery
                A                        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
           D                        A                           E
You didn't see it in the paper so I guess we oughta put it in a song
            A     D                    A       D
The boy got hooked and he couldn't get unhooked
         A                   E                           A
And it's happenin' somewhere now and maybe that's what's wrong
 
[Outro]
A                 D                A       D
His daddy said son you oughta quit dreamin'
         A                                                      E
Put your feet on the ground and your future in the hands of the Lord
                 A  D            A        D
But the boy said no  that ain't enough dad
            A                E                 A
All you got here is a ceilin' four walls and a floor.
