I remember shooting craps in Gary's Bar Watched the money dissapesr on every roll So I had a drink on someone else's paycheck Lady Luck you smiled on me no more On A cold grey night in Erie Pennsylvania I was stuck in the howling wind And the driving snow And I was made for being naked in the sunshine Lady Luck you smiled on me no more
Lady Luck she's never kind To my pleas she's deaf and blind If I could meet her face to face I would tell her what was on my mind You know maybe I'm just a fool to curse her A fool expects too much and asks for more Just another man in too much of a hurry With Lady Luck just knockin' at his door
