Hard Luck

Cold smoke down the river shore

Took a breath but I could hardly choke

Weepin' willow moaning like a lonesome ghost

Kerosene soaking through a six foot rope & 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 you know you want a bite

Lost mind on her daddy’s dime

Somewhere out rollin on the county line

Shacked up in a car, when the rope got too far

Kindly remove my heart from your jaws, and I’ll wait

Cold is my heart, you follow me everywhere I go

Down the line, back to North Carolina

I’m a bad apple darling but you 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, you follow me everywhere I go

Down the line, back to North Carolina

I’m a bad apple darling but you 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
