Georgia Satellites - Hard Luck Boy Lyrics

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

Every time 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

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

Every time I roll the dice, they come out box cars
It feels just like I've been snake bit 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 a gun

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

'Coz he fall back down, fall back down
Hey, you, young boy

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

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

'Coz he fall back down, fall back down
'Coz he fall back down, fall back down

How much you, much you fall back down, fall back down?
How much you fall back down, fall back down?
How much you fall back down?
How much you fall back down?
