No Such Luck

Thought I had a chance
With the girl down the block
I thought I caught her glance
The last time I walked
By her house 'round midnight
We never even talked
I finally got the nerve to knock on her door
They said that girl don't live here no more

I said no, no
No, no such luck around here

I put in an application
For a job in my neighborhood
It had paid vacation
And the money was mighty good
If I was willing to work real hard
You know that I said I would
I could see that money right there in my hand
But the warden gave my job to another man, now

No, no
No, no such luck around here

Went out to the racetrack
To watch the horses run
Thought I might win some cash back
Lately I been losing some
The odds were in my favor
A solid three to one
I went ahead and threw down all of my dough
The low down pony didn't even show, now

No, no
No, no such luck around here

No, no
No, no such luck around here

No luck
No such luck
Around here
Lord have mercy
I can't catch a break
It's a lose-lose situation
When am I gonna get lucky
I could use a little luck
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
All my bad luck
I know my luck's gonna change someday
I got hope
But not much
No such, no such, no such, no such luck
No such luck
