Deadbeat

I'm a deadbeat dead ringer for a bad luck man Oh I'm dead set on doing better than my daddy ever did I'm a wrong turn sinking feeling I'm a backup plan You're a damn fool true believer you take me as I am If I had a nickel for every time I heard, the check is in the mail! Or, baby I'll be there, baby I'll be there I'd have enough money to treat you like I should But I wouldn't do that we both know I'm bad at showing how I care I'm a deadbeat dead ringer for a bad luck man Oh I'm dead set on doing better than my daddy ever did I'm a wrong turn sinking feeling I'm a backup plan You're a damn fool true believer you take me as I am Must've hit the lotto waking up next to you And you ask me how I slept Bring me coffee in bed, coffee in bed And I've got a lousy record but what else can I do Than hold you while I can, get up and do my best, up and do my best? It's in my bones: it's hard to settle down It's in your face: the way you look at me sometimes I could promise that one day I'll come around But it's in my blood, it's in my blood: I'm good at tellin' lies I'm a deadbeat dead ringer for a bad luck man Oh I'm dead set on doing better than my daddy ever did I'm a wrong turn sinking feeling I'm a backup plan You're a damn fool true believer you take me as I am
