[Verse 1]
I remember the night I was born
My shoes were soggy and my pants were torn
But no time to worry about none of these things
My mouth was wide open and I just had to sing
[Chorus]
Hard luck, keep truckin'
Hard luck is all I have
Hard luck, keep truckin'
Hard luck, hard luck man
[Verse 2]
My daddy told me when I was young
"Hey now, little boy, don't you go wrong
'Cause look at my life, all the trouble I've had
Shows what you get when you got to be bad"
[Chorus]
Hard luck, keep truckin'
Hard luck is all I have
Hard luck, keep on truckin'
Hard luck, hard luck man
[Bridge]
Ooh-oh, my story's so sad
Ooh-oh, poor boy so bad
[Verse 3]
'Cause I was foolish and I wouldn't heed
I knew my crazy ways were bound to succeed
Nobody's fault, and I won't pass the buck
It was my stupidity and a little
[Chorus]
Hard luck, keep truckin'
Hard luck is all I have
Hard luck, keep on truckin'
Hard luck, hard luck man
[Outro]
Hard luck, keep truckin'
Hard luck is all I have
Hard luck, keep on truckin'
Hard luck, hard luck man
Hard luck, keep truckin'
Hard luck is all I have
Hard luck, keep on truckin'
Look out, hard luck, hard luck man
