Lucky Penny

Jokers turn Kings
And diamonds to dust I
Tried to beat the house
But every end was a bust
Another day in
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
An 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
