Hard Luck

(album: Don't Wake The Riot - 2016)

Cold smoke down the river shore
Took a breath but I could hardly choke
Weeping willow moaning like a lonesome ghost
Kerosene soaking through a six foot rope and I'll wait
Cold is my heart, it follows me everywhere I go
Down the line, back to North Carolina

I'm a bad apple darling but I know you want a bite
Lost mind on her daddy's dime
Somewhere out rolling on the county line
Shacked up in a car, when the rope got to far
Kindly remove my heart from your jaws, and I'll wait
Cold is my heart, it follows me everwhere I go
Down the line, back to North Carolina
I'm a bad apple darling but I know you want a bite

I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
Heaven was full so I rambled on
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
Heaven was full so I rambled on

Hook, line, sinker baby
Lord knows I don't need maybe's
Looking to the sky I don't need saving
Pretty soon I'll be pushing daisies and I'll wait

Cold is my heart, it follows me everywhere I go
Down the line, back to North Carolina
I'm a bad apple darling but I know you want a bite

I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
Heaven was full so I rambled on
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
Heaven was full so I rambled on
