A Lifetime of Trouble - The Del Lords

Bad luck is my middle name

The wheel of fortune spins

But it’s just a fixed game

I need love

I’m like anyone else

There must be a Heaven

Cause I know there’s a Hell

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

Always a day late

And a dollar short

Now, my landlord

He wants to take me to court

You need help

A mess of help to get by

Lovers betray, and friends they lie

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I gotta find a love like I never had

One that start good and don’t end up bad

I need a shoulder I can rest my weary head on

I wanna forget, I never wanna let on

Come here, honey

Sit right down

I’ve had a rough time, yeah

But, I’m still around

About love

I picked the right way to learn

Now, I know I gotta get something in return

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah
