Hard Luck Story

Work long hours at the grocery store
Don't get to relax
Do my best and they want more
And they take it out in tax

It's my very own hard luck story
One just like the rest
Everyone's got a hard luck story
To get off of their chest

The brand new shirt I bought just tore
Now I'll have to sew it
I can't save so I get poor
Wish I didn't have to show it

It's my very own hard luck story
One just like the rest
Everyone's got a hard luck story
To get off of their chest

My head's stuffed with a permanent cold
Take antihistamine
My hard luck story must be told
To keep my conscience clean

It's my very own hard luck story
One just like the rest
Everyone's got a hard luck story
To get off of their chest

The way I tell my hard luck story
I'm fit to be tied
All guts and brains, no glory
Are you satisfied?

It's my very own hard luck story
One just like the rest
Everyone's got a hard luck story
To get off of their chest

Apple Butter

Across the seas in an old clay jar A journey vast, a journey far A small seed hidden amongst the cargo From Portugal west, on past Key Largo...
