DOWN ON MY LUCK LYRICS
slowed to a standstill going nowhere wasting time
i just can't believe, believe my luck sometimes
but sometimes it don't work out
the way you want it to
just when you think you got it made
it won't be there for you
i don't know if i'll make it through
to the cherry city ya where i play the blues
well this rush hour traffic is enough to make me left
i sure ain't going nowhere and it sure ain't very fast
with a guitar in my hand its easy passing time
but time seams to drag waiting here in line
i don't know if i'll make it through
to the cherry city ya where i play the blues
well theres just no way to know
when i'll make it back home
because i got so many more miles
so many miles left to go
i don't know if i'll make it through
to the cherry city ya where i play the blues
i've made a fool of myself believed what you said
can't stand trust the thoughts going through my head
what was said was so untrue
and i took all i could take from you
and i know
been down that road before
and i know
ain't gonna go there no more
and i know
learned my lesson with you
done with all the pain all that you put me through
it's hard telling what i saw in you
from the start you played me for a fool
and its a hard lesson that i had to learn
and i hope someday you get it in return
and i know
been down that road before
and i know
ain't gonna go there no more
and i know
learned my lesson with you
done with all the pain all that you put me through
with all the lies and games you played
it's no surprise it turned out this way
what could have been never will be
i was blind before but now i see
now i see
and i know
been down that road before
and i know
ain't gonna go there no more
and i know
learned my lesson with you
done with all the pain all that you put me through
yes i've drawn the line
and you've run out of time
i spent my last dime
on a love i thought was mine
but i was so wrong and you strung me along
i was such a fool such a fool to go on
your fed me your lights sweet alibis
your hid love in disguise
but i shoulda known that it wasn't
when you stayed out all day and all night
such a damn fool to let you out of my sight
now i lost a love that felt so right
it's too late, It's too late
it's too late baby to late for me and you
it's too late it wasn't true
it's too late i'm bluer than blue
it's too late baby too late for me and you
yes it really is a shame that i fell for your games
but i got no one to blame and no i'll never feel the same
well it's all on me but now i finally see
that you and me baby were never meant to be
it's too late, It's too late
it's too late baby to late for me and you
it's too late it wasn't true
it's too late i'm bluer than blue
it's too late baby too late for me and you
not the way i want it to be
it's kinda hard for my eyes to see
everything goes so differently
hard hard love is killing me
it's kinda strange as i walk down the street
and look into your eyes and we meet
it's hard to deny what i'm feeling inside
don't you know oh oh oh
you got to give it up all your love to me
we'll live it up and find the perfect harmony
give it up baby don't you see you got to
give it up , you got to give it up
i cant change the way that i feel
everyday its so hard to deal
but when your not by my side
girl i'm losing my mind
don't you know
don't you know, don't you know
it's not the way i thought it would be
it's kinda hard for my eyes to see
when your not by my side
girl i'm losing my mind
Don't you know
down on my luck
things aren't going right for me today
down on my luck
it gets harder and harder everyday
but i got to stop and think about it yeah
but its too hard to see
i just hope the next day
things will go right for me
down on my luck
nothing comes easy to me
down on my luck
dark clouds always dogging me
but i gotta stop and think about it
but its too hard to see
i just hope the next day
things will go right for me
i just hope the next day
things will go right for me
every-time theres a choice to make
i turn the wrong way
and every-time i learn from my mistakes
such a price to pay
down on my luck
a hard winds blowing in my face
down on my luck
all my good intensions gone to waste
but i gotta stop and think about it yeah
