It’s the one thing you can depend on. Even when you manage to not provide your own, fate will step in to ensure that things don’t go too smoothly. Hopefully, you will fare better than the poor bastard in this song.
lyrics
you aint got nothing but bad luck
thats all you got
that’s not just a lot
you aint got nuthin but hard times
from when you were born
honey from now on
when you were a baby
lying in your bed
the chandelier fell off the wall
and stove your tiny head
you aint got nothin but bad luck
bad luck, honey thats all you got
when you went to school
just to learn to read and write
you stared into a laser
and lost your sense of sight
when you went to work
out on the factory floor
your hand caught in a spindle
now you can’t wave no more
Ken Landreth is one of my favorite banjo players of all time. This whole album is amazing! Makes me miss those hot sunny days in the Mt. Airy flatlands watching these guys shred. altacke
