I have a lot of luck but most of it’s bad
When I get lucky I am glad
It seems like someone is always out to get me
of this bad luck. I can’t break free
It seems like no matter how hard I try
The best I can do is barely get by
For a change I wish, luck would go my way
I wish life would be good for more than just one day
I used to have good luck
never worrying where I would sleep or wishing I had a buck
I had the world in the palm of my hand
my life was as leisurely as a walk in the sand
Now life is heavy load to bare
especially when there is no one to care
At best life is hard even if you get good breaks
All I ask for is a chance to find out what it takes
To make life good the way it should be
I’ve searched so long to find the key
To the mystery of what I’m doing wrong
I hope I find the answer that I’ve looked for before to long
I Don’t know how much longer I can take it
I try to keep faith but I wonder if I’ll ever make it
Cause life seems to get tougher with each passing day
For an end to this bad luck I will pray
