Lady luck where have you been
Long days and short nights are wearing thin
I'm calling for you in the final throws
Been working my fingers down to the bones
I'm done washing blood off my hands
Trying to satisfy all their demands
I'm doing the best that I can
Why won't they understand
Tell me how to [C7]keep the fire burning
How the hell to [C7]keep the wheels turning ɾound
Oh lady luck, show mercy for [Dm7]me
Time after time you [A7hear me plead
Knowing that you've got [Fm7]the power to [C7]set me free
Cause I'm in lockdown, I've been dropped down
Stacked up, shot down
Stitched up, bitched up
I'm ɾeal stuck, I've had enough
I'm a good man, I've paid all [Em]my [A]dues
I've given all [Em]I've got
Why am I still being used
It don't pay by towing the line
I can see why some choose a living through crime
I guess I'm floored for [Dm7]being too kind
But I will not take what isn't mine
Tell me how to [C7]keep the fire burning
And how the hell to [C7]keep the wheels turning ɾound
Oh lady luck, show mercy for [Dm7]me
Time after time you [A7hear me plead
Knowing that you've got [Fm7]the power to [C7]set me free
