Hard Luck |
From the day I was born |
I was a nothin' at all |
But a troubled man on the street |
My friends tried to help me |
But I was too far gone |
To hear what they were sayin' to me |
I was deaf, dumb and blind |
Just out of my mind |
In the life of the wild and free |
I hooked up with a crowd |
That let loose a little loud |
But it felt like a family |
A-makin' money in the city |
But it wasn’t always pretty |
Just gon' be what I was gonna be |
That life came and took me |
From |
'Cause it wasn’t about to set me free |
They call me hard luck, hard luck |
'Cause hard luck was my middle name |
They call me hard luck, hard luck |
Hard luck was my middle name |
I’ve had so much bad luck |
Feel I’m goin' up in flames |
Now I’ve had some funky situations |
That required investigations |
And they tried to put it all on me |
See I was and alive |
And always survivin' |
A-livin' a life of luxury |
In a house upon the hill |
I’d be livin' there still |
If I didn’t have a habit to feed |
Now I did this fifteen and a ten |
And I remember feelin' then |
That I’d never do a stretch again |
And as soon as I was free |
I’d get back to bein' me |
With the bottle and the Mary Jane |
All the women and the cars |
And the backstreet bars |
Where everybody knew my name |
They call me hard luck, hard luck |
'Cause hard luck was my middle name |
They call me hard luck, hard luck |
Hard luck was my middle name |
I’ve had so much bad luck |
Feel I’m goin' up in flames |
So as I sit here lookin' back |
On what I have become |
Ain’t surprised that I took a fall |
Had no patience or respect |
Only madness and neglect |
And now I’m starin' at the same old wall |
There comes a time in your life |
Where the change would do you good |
But I’ve never found the time at all |
They call me hard luck, hard luck |
'Cause hard luck was my middle name |
They call me hard luck, hard luck |
Hard luck was my middle name |
I’ve had so much bad luck |
Feel I’m goin' up in flames |
They call me hard luck, hard luck |
'Cause hard luck was my middle name |
They call me hard luck, hard luck |
Hard luck was my middle name |
I’ve had so much bad luck |
Feel I’m goin' up in flames |
