The Very Blest of Jack Tannehill

Bad Luck's Better

I've just seen you and I don't believe you
...the way you've changed
Friends, they told me but I had to see you
...girl, you're not the same

I've heard how time can take but you've been robbed Babe
By cake, smoke and age
Now level with me darling for old time's sake
...you're on the horse again

I would have saved you if you only gave me time to
I know you were just a young girl, but the young can love too
Now I guess it's true, all that stuff your mom said
...Bad Luck's Better than you
So much better than you girl
Better than you, so much better than you girl

A good shot today might stop you
...from your ride tomorrow
Your pony's on a hard run stamping your veins
I'd ought to call a cop to bop you,
Cause I know my love won't stop you
...Bad Luck's Better than you
So much better than you girl
Better than you, so much better than you girl

The dust you did, it's done the way you are now
A baby on Boone's Farm, you were destined for a drug
Well, your horse has won, cause your body's cold now
You just lay rotting in that hole you dug

I would have saved you if you only gave me time to
I know you were just a young girl, but the young can love too
Now I guess it's true, all that stuff your mom said
...Bad Luck's Better than you
So much better than you girl
Better than you, so much better than you girl
