Johnny Cash – A Ceiling Four Walls And A Floor (Guitar)

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

                                                                 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

                                                                  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
