Bad Luck Lyrics

Jokers morph to Kings, diamonds turn to ash

Every hand dealt was a losing crash

Another day dies, another one is born

Another night restless, my soul forlorn

I keep on rolling where the war winds gust

I keep on running, escaping the dust

No way of knowing where my journey ends

This lucky penny's been my foe, not my friend

Bad luck, bad luck, it's my constant tune

Tattered dreams unravel, my hopes a-swoon

Another misstep, another halt in the race

Another wrong path on the road to grace

I keep on rolling where the war winds call

I keep on running, lest I stumble and fall

No way of knowing where I'll find my peace

This lucky penny's brought me naught but grief

I've played too loose, my spirit yearning to score

A giving heart, with empty pockets, I implore

Deep in the debt, between the stark divide

A long road traveled, a long road to stride

I keep on rolling where the war winds moan

I keep on running, my spirit overgrown

No way of knowing where I'll finally land

This lucky penny's been a curse in my hand

Bad luck, bad luck, it's my constant refrain

A gambler's lament, a song of pain.
