The Bad Side of Luck

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I was a young man when I found the pleasures of life And  I lost myself to the shadows that fall every night And  I was ashamed to say that I am somebody's son [It?] don't make you a good man but it might make you feel like one [Chorus] And I wasted my time waiting for change Ah,  but change won't ever come When  you're left on the bad side of luck And the gambler always comes up short For  the things that he's done [Verse 2] Well this world beat me down, left my face black and blue [They?] broke my soul and half of my heart too But I came out clean and there ain't too much I'll regret But  it's a wonder that I ain't the meanest son of a bitch that you ever met [Chorus] And I wasted my time waiting for change Ah, but change won't ever come When you're left on the bad side of luck And the gambler always comes up short For the things that he's done [Verse 3] So I been wonderin' what it means to be loved To come home in the evenin' to someone I can trust But sometimes what you get ain't the same as the things you expect So I guess I'll keep fightin' on the bad side of luck 'til I'm dead [Chorus] And I wasted my time waiting for change Ah, but change won't ever come When you're left on the bad side of luck And the gambler always comes up short Said, the gambler always comes up short Well the gambler always comes up short For the things that he's done
