The hammer falls under the neon skies
The city lights reflecting in my eyes
Roll the dice a turn of the wheel
It's my turn to call
If it weren't for hard luck
I'd have no luck at all
Hard luck's got a hold on me
I bet against the odds
Hard luck's comin' down on me
It's in the fall of the cards
Hard luck
The night's my savior she keeps me in the dark
A bad shot it seems I've missed the mark
Like salt in my wounds
It burns me up inside
Nowhere to run to now
Nowhere to hide
I got some hard luck
It's comin' down to hard luck
All I got is hard luck
