Well I drink to forget, and I cry to survive.
I'd like to say I'm happy, but I will not tell a lie.
You say, that life's just daisies. That life's just one big open door.
But darling don't you know that you
Ain't ever seen bad luck like mine before?
Well I fell out of bed, tripped upon my crooked floor.
Was late to work again, boss said he won't need me no more.
Feels like they put a hex on me. Or maybe two, or three, or four.
Ha! What a waste of time,
Cuz they ain't ever seen bad luck like mine before.
Well, my baby ran away. Said he can't love no one no more.
But when I turn around he's kissing Susie from next door.
Feels like every page I write, it just gets wet and torn.
Even my mama says she's sorry,
Cuz she ain't ever seen bad luck like mine before.
Well, I told this to a man who was wrinkled, old, and gray.
He just looked at me and said, some things don't go your way.
But what he don't understand is that I'm
Just stuck out here on this killing floor.
Even those men who've been to war,
They ain't ever seen bad luck like mine before.
