Hard Luck Rain

Set out on a river, a taker not a giver
Looking for a woman to hold
Playing and winning but feeling all the losing
Knowing well enough I should fold

I can be the devil, and I can make you cry
Hold on to whatever you can
You know it when you know it and you know it when its wrong
It's Something that we all understand

Well, the years go round and round
And it's driving you insane
When It turns you around and around
This hard luck rain
Hard luck rain

It was a dirty little city, no one took pity
On the men who worked in the night
Empty as a promise, full of opposition
But looking forward to the fight

You want it when you want it trying not to flaunt it
You can steal, or you can lend
I been there and I done it and I can tell you son it
Aint worth it in the end

Well, the years go round and round
And it's driving you insane
Well It turns you around and around
The hard luck rain
Hard luck rain

Handing me the bottle one foot on the throttle
Like a moth that's drawn to the light
Mixing up the trouble its feeling like a double
And we're gonna let it loose tonight

The years go by and you can always try
To forget about the things that you've done
But its long road waiting and there's no mistaking
Your shadow when it's out in the sun

Well, the years go round and round
And it's driving you insane
Well It turns you around and around
The hard luck rain
Hard luck rain
Hard luck rain
