At rock-bottom totally dejected I've no hope of being resurrected, My emotional state is barely alive With scarce chance it'll ever revive. My fruitless life's upside down, My brow has a permanent frown, Everything is wrong, nothing's right, And not a soul cares of my plight. Nothing's going my way any day Seems forever it's been that way, Lady Luck's left me completely, She stopped smiling on me sweetly. I have no job, I've got zero money, The woman's gone I called honey, She boarded a train one month ago Just where she went, I don't know. Landlord's yelling for overdue rent, One more reason for my torment. Like others I owe he'll have to wait Till things get straight at a later date. I can't say when things will change, That my meager life will rearrange. Who knows what fate has in store, I think false hope, nothing more. I need a getaway for my weary head Till my mind clears of all this dread, Luck for me has been wholly unkind, I need a hideout to quietly unwind. This dirty town has no peace of mind If I had any sense I'd leave it behind, I think I'll hitchhike the long highway Until good times again come my way. "Bad Luck" ©Written by: Kenneth J.
