I do the best I can with no monogram I say, who I am ain't a happy man ' today 'Cause nothin' ever seems (nothin' ever seems) to go my way It's gettin' much harder to play ' today I used to waste my time thinkin' she was mine I only read her face and not the mind behind ' too late Nothin' ever seems (nothin' ever seems) to go my way Well, I never stashed nothin' away And this is my rainy day Nothin' ever seems to go my way He gets a few spare bills, some headache pills Tanked to the gills and the tension builds ' too high Nothin' ever seems (nothin' ever seems) to go my way It's got to get brighter some day I wish it would be right away 'Cause nothin' ever seems to go my way
