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
