Four Walls

Well it takes four walls closin in on me,

To drive me out of my mind each and every day,

Workin real hard, tryin to make ends meet, doin the best I can,

And if I ever get ahead before I'm dead I'll be a lucky man.

Every mornin’ when I punch the clock I know this ain't the life for me,

Cause I've got dreams like everyone else, places I wanna see.,

But life's got a way of cutting dreams in two like a cold sharp knife,

But I've gotta hold on. I've gotta be strong. I wanna change my life.

Cause it just takes four walls closin in on me,

To drive me out of my mind each and every day,

Workin real hard, tryin to make ends meet, doin the best I can,

And if I ever get ahead before I'm dead I'll be a lucky man.

There are people to whom money's no concern.

It seems as though they've got enough to burn.

Well I don't need a lot. I could use a little more than I've got.

How many of these lessons must I learn?

I've got a little girl that I love and she says she loves me too.

You could search all over this great big world you'd never find a love

This true,

I wanna buy her a ring, I wanna buy her a house, but I'm livin in a two

Room shack,

I know I could if I could get the man from off of my back.

But it just takes four walls closin in on me,

To drive me out of my mind each and every day.

Workin real hard, tryin to make ends meet, doin the best I can,

And if I ever get ahead before I'm dead I'll be a lucky man.

Cause it just takes four walls closin in on me,

To drive me out of my mind each and every day.

Workin real hard, tryin to make ends meet, doin the best I can,

And if I ever get ahead before I'm dead I'll be a lucky man.

Well if I ever get ahead before I'm dead I'll be a lucky man.
