Some men have all the luck Some have none at all I'm standing by the side of the road Feeling about two feet tall I've been 'round a dozen times Out the gates and through the pines I way, way past the starting line And I hear the bugle call Mama, take me down To where the trumpets do not blow so loud Mama, get me bound From this underground I see you're leaning on a crutch The one that says you love too much But if its true, and that exists Then why'd you make me go like this? I did what I had to do Love has got to be for two I guess you loved me just for you If you did at all Mama, take me down To where the neon lights don't glow so proud Mama, get me bound From this underground And marble Tom stays so serene He washed his clothes and he keeps them clean He licked his chops in Aberdeen And he hangs his hat in Gaul He said lets go to Moscow I've had it all in Ghent And we're half a day and lost now And all my money's spent He'll be gone tomorrow Tomorrow I'll be bent Some men have all the luck Some ain't got a cent Mama, take me down Round me up don't fail me now Mama get me bound From this underground
