LUCKY PENNY

Jokers turn to Kings and diamonds to dust I tried to beat the house but every hand was a bust Another day ends, another begins Another night sleeping on needles and pins I keep rolling where the bad wind blows I keep running, but the trouble follows Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck Bad luck Bad luck Bad luck My rusty old rings are coming undone Fraying on the seams every mile that I run Another bad move, another dead stop Another wrong turn on the way to the top I keep rolling where the bad wind blows I keep running, but the trouble follows Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck Bad luck Bad luck I've been playing to lose and dying to win A compassionate heart without a dollar to mend Deep in the red between the white lines It's a long road ahead and a long one behind I keep rolling where the bad wind blows I keep running, but the sorrow follows Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck Bad luck Bad luck Bad luck Bad luck
