Hard Luck Boy

(Dan Baird) Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town hard luck story that's goin' around you can make a fool wear a crown prop him up but he falls back down fall back down Everytime I stick out my heart it just gets stepped on I don't want or need your gracious sympathy I don't need to look over my shoulder to see what's coming It's a dark cloud it belongs to me just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town hard luck story that's goin' around you can make a fool wear a crown prop him up but he falls back down everytime I roll the dice they come up box cars it feels just like I've been snakebit since day one You gotta nerve to ask why I don't wear a smile on my face Well, it's hard when you're livin' under the gun (repeat chorus twice)
