Rough Luck (Ray Bonneville)

Friend of mine way down south
The wind one night took the roof off the house
Oh Lord, the rain came in
Couldn’t sleep no more and he lost his grin

Rough luck another day’s ahead
With no guarantee
Got stuck with what the dealer dealt
Joker’s wild if you please

I took a room at the Heartwreck Inn
Wasn’t too sure if I’d come out again
Doggone love is a tryin’ thing
Hot soup in a cup of mixed up feelings

Rough luck another day’s ahead
With no guarantee
Got stuck with what the dealer dealt
Joker’s wild if you please

I was born late one night
All the stars lined up just right
Who can say what lays up ahead
Stacked away in an unmarked deck

Rough luck another day’s ahead
With no guarantee
Got stuck with what the dealer dealt
Joker’s wild if you please
