[Verse 1] Woke up on a Tuesday Pay day came and gone Kettle’s burnin’ on the stove Leccy meter’s flashin’ on Dog’s chewed up my boots again Missus changed the locks Left my keys inside the door And my heart inside her box [Chorus] I got that rotten luck blues Drippin’ off my shoes (oh yeah) Every road I choose Leads me back to losin’ you I got that rotten luck blues Like a curse I can’t undo If there’s one wrong move in the room That’s the one I’m fallin’ into [Verse 2] Boss said “Son You’re useless” Cleared my desk at nine Pub said “Card declined Mate” So I paid in coppers and pride Spilled my pint on a stranger He stood up twice my size Swung and missed Kissed the floor Still I heard him crack my pride [Chorus] I got that rotten luck blues Drippin’ off my shoes (hey!) Every road I choose Leads me back to losin’ you I got that rotten luck blues Like a stain I can’t shampoo If there’s one wrong move in the room That’s the one I’m fallin’ into [Bridge] One day my ship might come Bet it sinks in the bay I’ll be standin’ on the shoreline Wavin’ as it fades away (so long) But till that sweet day dawns And fortune finally hits I’ll be here at this same old bar Wearin’ out this stool to bits [Chorus] I got that rotten luck blues Drippin’ off my shoes Every road I choose Leads me back to losin’ you I got that rotten luck blues Yeah It fits me like a bruise (oh yeah) Raise a glass if you feel it too Sing along You poor old fools With these rotten Rotten luck blues
