Hard Luck Boy

The Georgia Satellites

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down
Fall back down

Every time I stick out my heart
It just gets stepped on
I don't want to need your precious sympathy
I don't need to look over my shoulder
To tell what's coming
It's a dark cloud it belongs to me

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down
Fall back down

Every time I roll the dice 
They come up box cars
It feels just like I've been 
Snakebit since day one
I got a girl to ask why 
I don't wear a smile on my face 
Well it's hard when your living under the gun

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down
Falls back down

He falls back down
Fall back down

Yeah a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down

Hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down
Fall back down

Watch him fall back down 
Fall back down
Watch him fall back down 
Fall back down
Watch him fall down 
Fall back down
Watch him fall back down 
Fall back down
Watch him fall back down 
Fall back down
Watch him fall back down 
Fall back down
