Verse 1
Well you lost your job & your wife’s chasin’ men around town
& your kid joined the navy I was never sure ‘bout him anyhow
Then your uncle bob died & he left you jack-shit in his will
& you’d love a Jack-Daniel's but you’re down to your last dollar bill

Chorus
Heaven is for dreamers when you’re knocked down to the floor
& it’s another bum steer that got you here
When you’re waitin’ for a knock on the door

Verse 2
Well I saw you at the bank & I swear you had a tear in your eye
You know then man in the suit he gets a kick seein’ a grown man cry
& I know I saw you hidin’ when the Bailiffs called round today
It’s just a matter of time ‘fore the sheriff carries you away

Verse 3
I saw you at the jailhouse your head deep inside of your hands
& something inside of you snapped when ya made your last stand
But you never said a word when they hauled you to the county pen
& as you took a last look round I knew I’d never see you again
