No Damn Luck

Music, Lyrics and Performance by Dean Temple

I woke up this morning

Cause the telephone was ringing                         I got no damn luck today

And that fax machine kept calling

For at least another hour                                        I got no damn luck today

As I poured myself some breakfast

Watched the milk come out in chunks                     I got no damn luck today

There’s no towel in the shower

So I used the toilet paper                               I got no damn luck today.

Looks like I’ve got a mouse problem

Cause coyotes ate my cat                                I got no damn luck today.

My doggie used floor again

And my bare foot found the prize                I got no damn luck today.

Then they had to tow my car off

Cause the sucker wouldn’t start                           I got no damn luck today.

And they say they’ll fix it Monday

Which sounds good except it’s Tuesday                 I got no damn luck today.

 (Bridge)

I guess it all could be worse

I could find myself in jail

With a cellmate who thinks I have pretty lips

Or some pirates could have stormed my home

Or lightning could have struck me

These are things I know that happen every day

It seems the feds would like to

Have a word or two with me                              I got no damn luck today.

They want their cut of something

That has nil to do with me                               I got no damn luck today.

But I kindly will oblige them

And I’ll give them a big smile                            I got no damn luck today.

Cause my bank account is empty

And I can’t afford the trial                          I got no damn luck today.

(Bridge)

So it’s time to roll the sleeves up

Take fate right into the hand                            I got no damn luck today.

While your luck is what you make it

Sometimes your hide still gets tanned                   I got no damn luck today.

The neighbors yell, the roof leaks through

The front door lock won’t work                            I got no damn luck today.

And your wife will let you have it

Hey, at least she’s got a job                         I got no damn luck today.
