Ode to Hank

Well I drink to forget, and I cry to survive
I'd like to say I'm happy
but I will not tell a lie you say
That life's just daisies that life's just
One big open door
But darling don't you know that you ain't
Ever seen bad luck like mine before?

Well I fell out of bed
Tripped upon my crooked floor
Was late to work again
Boss said he won't need me no more
Feels like they put a hex on
Me or maybe two, or three, or four
Ha! What a waste of time
Cuz they ain't ever seen bad
Luck like mine before

Well, my baby ran away said he
Can't love no one no more
But when I turn around he's
Kissing Susie from next door
Feels like every page I write
It just gets wet and torn
Even my mama says she's sorry
Cuz she ain't ever seen bad
Luck like mine before

Well, I told this to a
Man who was wrinkled, old, and gray
He just looked at me and said
Some things don't go your way
But what he don't understand is that I'm just
Stuck out here on this killing floor
Even those men who've been to war
They ain't ever seen bad
Luck like mine before
