Lucky Penny

Jokers turn Kings and diamonds to dust

I tried to beat the house but every hand was a bust

Another day ends, another begins

Another night sleeping on needles and pins

I keep a-rolling where the battle wind blows

I keep a-running when the trouble follows

Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up

This lucky's penny's been nothing but bad luck

Bad luck

Bad luck

Bad luck

My rusty old dreams are coming undone

Fraying at the seams every mile that I run

Another bad move

Another dead stop

Another wrong turn

On the way to the top

I keep a-rolling where the battle wind blows

I keep a-running when the trouble follows

Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up

This lucky's penny's been nothing but bad luck

Bad luck

Bad luck

I've been playing to loose and dying to win

A compassionate heart without a dollar to lend

Deep in the red between the white lines

It's a long road ahead and a long road behind

I keep a-rolling where the battle wind blows

I keep a-running when the sorrow follows

Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up

This lucky's penny's been nothing but bad luck

Bad luck

Bad luck

Bad luck

Bad luck
