Hard Luck Stories

Every time you’re feeling fine
Got another good one on the line
It slips away
You feel it slip away, slip away
I don’t want no more from you
Won’t do what you want me to
Turn me loose
Come on turn me loose
Turn me loose
Every time I’m feeling good
The phone rings
And I knock on wood
Hoping that it won’t be you
Calling like you always do
All you ever seem to say is
How much bad luck came your way
You won’t try to start again
You just count on your old friends
Now you call up every day
Got no money no place to stay
That girl made a mess of you
You got what was coming too
Build her up and let her down
Tasting everything in town
Treat her right, you never
Treat her right, treat her right
Now she’s gone and you’re alone
Bite your fingers to the bone
Slip away
You feel it slip away, slip away
You don’t know what’s going on
How you lost it, what went wrong
What ever happened to
The love that you once knew
