It's a hard pill to swallow 
I believe I'll chew it first
It's a hard pill to swallow 
I believe I'll chew it first
Things have gotten so bad 
I'm quite sure they can't get no worse
My wife got up one day and said "Man I'm through"

She took all, all, all the children and said "I'm no longer living with you"
It wouldn't have been so bad, but my girlfriend quit me too
I got laid off my job, recession is the blame
On my way to the compensation board
I met an old flame

She said, "Eddie baby, things again will never be the same"
When I finally received my check, guess what
They had misspelled my name
I went over to see a buddy, just to get a little loan
When I got back, only two hours later 
All, all my clothes were gone
I saw a mysterious looking character
Slumped down in a car all alone
I was going to call the police
They had cut off my telephone

I had to run and catch the bus
Although I had a little snort
I went to pay my fare
I can't believe I was a dime short
A boy with a radio
He had it really blowing
The bus moved so slow
I forgot where I was going
I got mad with the bus driver 
For letting me stay
When I finally woke up, guess what
I was going the wrong way
I was going to see my mother
Who lived in another town
As soon as I hitch hiked a ride
The damn car broke down
I walked across the highway
To see of there was any car in sight
The police came up and arrested me
For jaywalking at night

Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have 
Bad luck is all I have
