This is a song I wrote it is called
An Old Mans Dream

Music at www.WritersBlock.musicpage.com

v1

Whiskey dripping down the old mans chin
Drifts off to sleep and dreams of where he's been
And about the way things used to be
When he still had a home and his family

v2

In his dream he can still see his wife
Standing there waiting as he pulls in the drive
and his children come running out to say'
Hey there Daddy we sure missed you today

chorus

He was a lawyer and a kind upstanding man
Seemed to have it all right there in the palm of his hand
But now he's lost in a world somewhere inbetween
the whiskey and the memories and an old mans dream

v3

He's just an old drunk who lives on the street
Begging the loose change from the people he meets
Never thought his life would turn out quite this way
Till the night a drunk driver took his family away

v4

Now whenever he gets the chance to sleep
He prays to the Lord for his soul to keep
Hoping to die before he wakes
to meet with his family if its not too late

chorus

He was a lawyer and a kind upstanding man
Seemed to have it all right there in the palm of his hand
But now he's lost in a world somewhere inbetween
the whiskey and the memories and an old mans dream
