Lyrics
BAD LUCK
VERSE 1
My truck just broke down in the middle of nowhere and it's sometime in the
middle of the night. Wouldn't be so bad but I'm as cold as hell and I don't
see a soul in sight. Lately I can't seem to catch a single break. There's
trouble waiting around every bend. I don't know how much more of this I
can take and I can't wait for it all to end.
CHORUS
Bad Luck! I've had my share of that. My dog ran away and somebody stole
my cat. My woman ran off with a used car salesman and took everything I
own. That's probably why the dog away. Can't afford meat, there ain't no
bones. I've got holes in both of my shoes. I can't afford another pair. I ain't
normally a whiner but man this just ain't fair. I don't know why lately my
life has run amuck. I'm looking for and end to this run of Bad Luck!
(2nd Chorus) If it wasn't for all of this bad luck ; ( Ya'll know how this goes)
VERSE2
My boss gave my job to his brother-in-law. My landlord wants to put me on
the street. I'm gonna find a way out of this funk and get myself back on my
feet. There's been times in my life when I've been down but it ain't ever
been this far. For sure I know this ain't normal. In fact it's downright
bizarre.
