lyrics

LUCKY DAY-It was not his lucky day...He woke up in the morning/ He found the note she’d left/ It said I’m leaving with the dog/ And we’re heading way out west/ And then he heard a knocking/ It was the landlord at the door/ he said your three months overdue kid/ So you don’t live here no more/ It was not his lucky day...He went down to the factory/ The forman said your late/ He called down for security/ To escort him to the gate/ Said don’t bother coming back kid/ And don’t expect no severance pay/ He lost his girl lost his dog lost his home lost his job/ It was not his lucky day...He pulled his Delta 88 up to the PHillips 66/ Pulled out his Ruger 44/ And he walked in the front door/ Said give me all your money sir/ And I’ll be on my way/ But he should’ve seen it coming/ It was not his lucky day....The clerk apologized/ Said there’s no money in the till/ A woman and a dog just robbed me/ Took my last one dollar bill/ So put away that gun/ The cops are on their way/ You ain’t done nothing wrong yet son/ Just turn and walk away/ But it was not his lucky day...He cussed and he kicked the floor/ And then he walked back out the door/ It sounded just like thunder/ Seven shotgun’s deadly roar/ His body danced and twisted/ Just like a puppet on a string/ He came to rest in a bloody mess up against the Coke machine/ It was not his lucky day...

I get on with my days
In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing…
