Hard Luck, Bad News
by Larry Norman

hard luck and bad news
 has followed me from town to town 
all my life my lucks been down
 i'm getting so weary 
i don't have one friend 
folks turn their backs when i'm around 
where i walk the grass turns brown 
no one will come near me  

hard luck and bad news
 hard luck and bad news
 if you were in my shoes you'd die  

my life's been lonely 
i've never heard a kindly word
 ugly names is all i've heard 
and mean is how they treat me 
nobody trusts me 
they blame me for the fires in town
 claim that hell is where i'm bound
 and pray that God will speed me  

hard luck and bad news 
hard luck and bad news
 if you were in my shoes you'd die

  lead guitar break  

life's not worth livin'
 my sorrows more than i can say 
tomorrow's just another day 
i hate to see the sun rise
 yet maybe someday
 i'll find a man to call a friend
 i'll be his friend until the end 
in loneliness my heart cries

  hard luck and bad news 
hard luck and bad news
 if you were in my shoes you'd die
 hard luck and bad news
 hard luck and bad news 
if you were in my shoes you'd die
