I must've had a million damn unlucky days But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight
They say with faith any soul can make it But hell, why should I wait 'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
I've had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering
Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue But hell, why should I wait 'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade When every heavy sky just empties on your fate Sometimes keeping dry's something to celebrate
So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking I ain't gonna stray 'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
