Well I crawled to confession early today
They took just one look and they turned me away
I'll enlighten my spirits in some other way
But why tell me God do things happen this way

My luck is so bad it can only get better than worse

My dog's gone astray and my cat doesn't mouse
My neighbor is hung in a tree by his house
My tires have been slashed and my battery's flat
Well please tell me why, tell me what's up with that?

My luck is so bad it can only get better than worse
Yes my luck is so bad it can only get better than worse

Got a call from my wife who's just filed for divorce
She's taking the cash, the house, and my horse
And the government says I owe lots of back tax
Now tell me how can it get worse than that

My luck is so bad it can only get better than worse
Yes my luck is so bad it can only get better than worse

Why is my luck so bad?
I'll blame my heavenly dad
And I hope to some day sallyforth from this muck
Till that day I shall pray for complete change of luck

My luck is so bad it can only get better than worse

Now my shoes are all tattered, I've trudged a long mile
I've stepped in a puddle and I've fell in the pile
I want to lash out but I'm just gonna smile
While I wait for my luck to be changed in a while

My luck is so bad it can only get better than worse
Yes my luck is so bad it can only get better than worse
My luck is so bad it can only get better than worse
My luck is so bad it can only get better than worse
