Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up late with the same old grin
Coffee burned, but I drank it in
Truck won’t start, then the rain rolls down
Slid in a ditch on the edge of town
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep knockin’ on a locked-up door
Same bad day, but it begs for more
Every step turns back around
Like my boots are glued to the ground
[Chorus]
If it weren’t for bad luck
I’d have no luck at all
If it weren’t for bad luck
I’d be standin’ tall
Bad luck, bad luck
Won’t let me be
Bad luck, bad luck
Keeps pickin’ me
[Verse 2]
Paid my bill with a wrinkled five
Got back change in a busted dive
Missed my bus by a breath or two
Watched it roll on past in blue
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep knockin’ on a locked-up door
Same bad day, but it begs for more
Every step turns back around
Like my boots are glued to the ground
[Chorus]
If it weren’t for bad luck
I’d have no luck at all
If it weren’t for bad luck
I’d be standin’ tall
Bad luck, bad luck
Won’t let me be
Bad luck, bad luck
Keeps pickin’ me
[Bridge]
One day this streak might break
One day this road might shake
Till then I laugh, I drink it down
Same hard luck king in a hard luck town
[Chorus]
If it weren’t for bad luck
I’d have no luck at all
If it weren’t for bad luck
I’d be standin’ tall
Bad luck, bad luck
Won’t let me be
Bad luck, bad luck
Keeps pickin’ me
