Lucky Day

It was not his lucky day

He woke up in the mornin'
He found the note she'd left
'said im leavin' with the dog
An' we're headed way out west

And then he heard a knockin'
It was the landlord at the door
'said "you're three months overdue kid
So you dont live here no more"

It was not his lucky day
It was not his lucky day

He went down to the fact'ry
The foreman said "you're late"
He called down for security to
Escort him to the gate

'said dont bother comin' back kid
Dont expect no severence pay
He lost his girl, lost his dog, lost his home, lost his job
It was not his lucky day

No it was not his lucky day
It was not his lucky day

He pulled his delta 88
Up to the fillup 66
Pulled out his rouger 44
An' he walked in the front door

Said "give me all your money sir
And i'll be on my way"
But he should have seen it comin'
It was not his lucky day

No it was not his lucky day
It was not his lucky day

It was not his lucky day
It was not his lucky day

The clerk apologized
Said "theres no money in the till
A woman and a dog just robbed me
Stole my last one dollar bill

So put away that gun
The cops are on there way
You ain't done nothin' wrong yet son
Just turn and walk away"
But it was not his lucky day
It was not his lucky day

He cussed and he kicked the floor
And then he walked back out that door
It sounded just like thunder
Seven shotguns' deadly roar
His body danced and twisted
Just like a puppet on a string
He came to rest in a bloody mess
Up against the coke machine

It was not his lucky day
It was not his lucky day
It was not his lucky day
