The hammer falls under the neon skies       The city lights reflecting in my eyes             Roll the dice, a turn of the wheel       It's my turn to call       If it weren't for hard luck       I'd have no luck at all             Chorus:       Hard luck's got a hold on me       I bet against the odds       Hard luck's comin' down on me       It's in the fall of the cards       Hard luck             The night's my savior, she keeps me in the dark       A bad shot, it seems I've missed the mark             Like salt in my wounds       It burns me up inside       Nowhere to run to now       Nowhere to hide             Chorus       Solo       Chorus       (Repeat)
