The hammer falls under the neon skies The city lights reflecting in my eyes
Roll the dice, a turn of the wheel It’s my turn to call
If it weren’t for hard luck I’d have no luck at all
Chorus:
Hard luck’s got a hold on me I bet against the odds
Hard luck’s comin’ down on me It’s in the fall of the cards Hard luck
The night’s my savior, she keeps me in the dark A bad shot, it seems I’ve missed the mark Like salt in my wounds It burns me up inside Nowhere to run to now Nowhere to hide
