Greg Brown People With Bad Luck
People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the
good luck and goin, ooooh
If ya got the good luck it's hard to figure out
What the one with the bad luck is carryin on about
What would just enough of the good luck and money or
the lack of it do
Make a young man of 40 an old man of 22
People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the
good luck and they're goin, ooooh
Maybe someone you thought was very kind and true
Turned around and did somethin just plain mean to you
And it might make you cry, and it might make you real
mad
And it might get you to thinkin about the kind of luck
that you both had
People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the
good luck and they're goin, ooooh
Don't we all want to laugh a little, don't we all want
to cry
Don't we all want to live a little before it's time to
die
If ya got the good luck it sure might seem that way
But if you got the bad luck you just cannot make it
through the day
People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the
good luck and goin, ooooh
Once I had me a good friend, he was funny and full of
cheer
But his luck was always so bad and he's no longer here
Sometimes in this world I'm wonderin that we ain't
grateful for every breath
Sometimes in this world I'm wonderin that we don't all
just drink ourselves to death
People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the
good luck and they're goin, ooooh
Yeah the people with the bad luck lookin at the people
with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh
