Lyrics

And you think you've seen trouble Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah ha Oh, the world's own original hard luck story And a hard time losin' man Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy And sometimes skies are blue And sometimes they say that you eat the bear But sometimes the bear eats you And sometimes I feel like I should go Far far away and hide 'Cause I keep a-waitin' for my ship to come in And all that ever comes is the tide And you think you've seen trouble Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah ha Oh, the world's own original hard luck story And a hard time losin' man Oh, I saved up all my money I gonna buy me a flashy car So I go downtown to see the man And he smokin' on a big cigar Well, he must've thought I were Rockefeller Or an uptown man of wealth He said, "Boy, I got the car that's made for you And it's cleaner than the Board of Health" Then I got on the highway Oh, I feelin' fine, I hit a bump Then I found I bought a car held together By wire and a couple a' hunks of twine And you think you've seen trouble Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah ha Oh, the world's own original hard luck story And a hard time losin' man Oh, Friday night, feelin' right I head out on the street Standin' in the doorway Was a dealer known as Pete Well he sold me a dime Of some super fine dynamite from Mexico I spent all that night just tryin' to get right On an ounce of Oregano And you think you've seen trouble Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah ha Oh, the world's own original hard luck story And a hard time losin' man And you think you've seen trouble Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah ha Oh, the world's own original hard luck story And a hard time losin' man And you think you've seen trouble Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah ha Oh, the world's own original hard luck story And a hard time losin' man And you think you've seen trouble Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah ha Oh, the world's own original hard luck story And a hard time losin' man
