Beginner’s Luck Lyrics

With the shitty job and fifty bucks

You try to stretch while you get stuck

It's all you've got to last you the week

Your whole life is a losing streak

Trade school may have worked for our dads

But they can’t possibly understand

That minimum wage can't keep a house

Empty hearts and bank accounts

You wanna wake up in her arms again

You'd give anything to be sixteen again

Driving in your sister's car

Blown curfews and seedy bars

Around 22 the well ran dry

Your confidence it waved goodbye

And you couldn't make a life on beginner's luck

So every day's the same

Put your head down, don't complain

Get home to put your daughter down

Ride your bike back across the town

You're lucky to be late when you start again

You don't seem to remember when

You felt the love in your daughter's touch

The love that meant so much

You wanna wake up in her arms again

You'd give anything to be sixteen again

Driving in your sister's car

Blown curfews and seedy bars

Around 22 the well ran dry

The confidence it waved goodbye

And you couldn't make a life on beginner's luck

And all your friends are making plans

You're just trying to be a man

The only way that we'd survive

Is stumblin' while half alive

You wanna wake up in her arms again

You'd give anything to be sixteen again

Driving in your sister's car

Blown curfews and seedy bars

Around 22 the well ran dry

The confidence it waved goodbye

And you couldn't make a life on beginner's luck

Beginner’s luck
