She was free, free to make a choices
So she broke out and now she's gone
No more we, Only voices
That tells me what she's done
Oh, they say I had it coming
I was just to blind to see
That girl she was already running
Building up distance to me
Out of love, out of things to say
Now she's the one that got away
I'm used up, stood up, thrown away like a paper cup
Ain't no use in begging her to stay
Oh, I ain't got no money
To buy her them fancy tings
Guess my forecast just ain't so sunny
So I pick up my guitar and sing
It's a hard luck life
Can't seem to catch a break
But if you make it through the night
Then you're good for one more day
Don't you ever, ever get the feeling
That no matter what you do
You end up kicked in the face, you're out of the race
Sister luck never shines on you
Guess in a way it's funny
Just in line with her attitude
She skipped off like a bunny
So I'm not the only one getting screwed
It's a hard luck life
Can't seem to catch a break
But if you make it through the night
Then you're good for one more day
