I must've had a million damn unlucky days But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight They say with faith any soul can make it But hell, why should I wait Till the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade? I've had my share of heartaches, let-downs and tricks But the everyday blues is the one thing I can't fix I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue But hell, why should I wait Till the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade? Till the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade? When every heavy skyline just empties on your faith Sometimes keeping dry's just something to celebrate So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking I ain't gonna stray Till the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade. Till the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade.
