David's Last Dollar

Lyrics

[Verse]
David put his dreams in a little electric car,
Every dollar he'd saved up from working on the farm.
Just a small-town man with a quiet kind of grace,
Betting on his savings in a high-stakes place.

[Verse 2]
Every time he'd buy, he thought he'd struck gold,
But the market turned, and his fortunes always rolled.
He's watching the red line, feeling deep regret,
With every fall, his hopes are harder to forget.

[Chorus]
David's down to his last dollar, staring at the screen,
Wonderin' if the next time, his fortunes will redeem.
He trusts in that stock, though it's lost him so much,
Holding onto dreams that are just out of touch.

[Verse 3]
His friends at the diner shake their heads in disbelief,
Stories ‘bout his losses fall like autumn leaves.
He keeps on investing, thinking it'll turn around,
But each morning's heartbreak only wears him down.

[Verse 4]
His old truck’s rusty, but it gets him to town,
The fields he once plowed, they've started turnin' brown.
Night by night, under the Tennessee moon,
David's prayers for a change seem to come too soon.

[Chorus]
David's down to his last dollar, staring at the screen,
Wonderin' if the next time, his fortunes will redeem.
He trusts in that stock, though it's lost him so much,
Holding onto dreams that are just out of touch.
