People With Bad Luck - Greg Brown

If ya got the good luck it’s hard to figure out

What the one with the bad luck is carryin on about

What would just enough of the good luck and money or the lack of it do

Make a young man of 40 an old man of 22

People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they’re

goin, ooooh

Maybe someone you thought was very kind and true

Turned around and did somethin just plain mean to you

And it might make you cry, and it might make you real mad

And it might get you to thinkin about the kind of luck that you both had

People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they’re

goin, ooooh

Don’t we all want to laugh a little, don’t we all want to cry

Don’t we all want to live a little before it’s time to die

If ya got the good luck it sure might seem that way

But if you got the bad luck you just cannot make it through the day

People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and goin, ooooh

Once I had me a good friend, he was funny and full of cheer

But his luck was always so bad and he’s no longer here

Sometimes in this world I’m wonderin that we ain’t grateful for every breath

Sometimes in this world I’m wonderin that we don’t all just drink ourselves to

death

People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they’re

goin, ooooh

Yeah the people with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and

they’re goin, ooooh
