Tough Luck

words and music by John Eddie

Her daddy'd name could knock down doors
Please explain what she neeeded me for
Was it just a game, was the rich girl bored
Did I make somebody mad
She dressed me up just to show me off
She messed me up in her daddy's loft
I said you ride real good, how do you get off
She said I get off bein' bad
My heart got traded
A devil's deal was struck
Now airn't that just my luck, boys
And ain't my luck just tough, boys


Chorus:
Tough luck, it's over, bang, bang, just like that
Tough luck, it's over, tough luck, it's over
Tough luck, it's over, bang, bang, just like that

Tough luck, it's over
Tough luck, it's over now


She jumped my bones, she pumped my blood
She kissed me hard and I called it love
She called it off, death from above
She said guess who's back in town
I said hold on, honey, what about last night
She said get real, sonny boy, you're not my type
Besides all that, my fiance might not like you hangin' 'round
My heart was shattered
I guess that ain't enough
Now ain't that just my luck, boys
And ain't my luck just tough, boys


Chorus....

Why do I get discouraged
Why can't I just accept the facts
Why must I always be
The guy that hits the road with Jack
See the pourin' rain bein' swallowed by the cracks


Love's a puzzle and it all don't fit
There's too many pieces only some get picked
And the ones that don't, well they fade real quick
They get lost of thrown away
My heart's still hoping
Broken but hanging tough
Now ain't that just my luck, boys
And ain't my luck just tough, boys


Chorus....

My heart got hit from the blind side, baby, just like that
Count on it, it's a hard ride, baby, just like that
Just take it from me
It's what you've done to me
And that's the hard cold truth
