Lyrics

(Dan baird)

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down
Fall back down

Everytime I stick out my heart it just
Gets stepped on
I don't want or need your gracious sympathy
I don't need to look over my shoulder
To see what's coming
It's a dark cloud it belongs to me

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down

Everytime I roll the dice they come up box cars
It feels just like I've been snakebit since day one
You gotta nerve to ask why I don't wear a smile on my face
Well, it's hard when you're livin' under the gun

(Repeat chorus twice)
