Lyrics

[Verse]
Richard's truck is rusted, it barely gets him by,
The IRS keeps calling, with numbers he can't deny.
His pockets are empty, his health's on the line,
He's praying for a miracle, or just a little more time.

[Chorus]
He dreams of the lottery, a ticket to be free,
A chance to leave behind this life of misery.
But the numbers never match, the odds are never kind,
Still, he buys another ticket, hoping fate will unwind.

[Verse 2]
The bills stack like mountains, they're crowding his door,
He can't find a way to pay them anymore.
His body's feeling weaker, but his spirit won't break,
He's holding on to hope for his family's sake.

[Chorus]
He dreams of the lottery, a ticket to be free,
A chance to leave behind this life of misery.
But the numbers never match, the odds are never kind,
Still, he buys another ticket, hoping fate will unwind.

[Bridge]
He remembers simpler days, when life felt so wide,
Before the weight of the world left him battered inside.
With a scratch of a coin, he bets on his luck,
Praying for a future, to climb out of this muck.

[Chorus]
He dreams of the lottery, a ticket to be free,
A chance to leave behind this life of misery.
But the numbers never match, the odds are never kind,
Still, he buys another ticket, hoping fate will unwind.
