Hard Luck Story

[Verse 1]

Well, I was thinking that I shoulda

But I didn't ever leave you

But baby, I'm leavin tonight

And there's a trucker drinking coffee in the station who can give me a ride

Well, I was thinking about a heading to Mobile, Alabama

And that was just last Saturday night

I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and I'm gonna tonight

[Chorus]

'Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story

There's a bad moon rising behind

And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you

But I changed my mind

Well, I'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch

And I'm a sinner and I know how to fight

Well, I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and I'm gonna tonight

[Chorus]

'Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story

There's a bad moon rising behind

And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you

But I changed my mind

Well, I'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch

And I'm a sinner and I know how to fight

Cause I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and I'm gonna tonight

[Verse 2]

Well I was sitting, I was drinking on a barstool

Thinking how true love becomes a lie

And I never should have left you

But I had to, and I betcha there's a man there with you tonight

And I swore it to your daddy that I missed you, but I didn't

If I came back it wouldn't be right

Cause I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and I'm gonna tonight
