Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I roll the dice, they tumble snake eyes,
Dreams turn to dust right before my eyes.
Every road I take, it breaks down halfway,
Even the sunrise feels like judgment day.
[Verse 2]
Love slips through my fingers, like rain in July,
Every kiss tastes of hello and goodbye.
Fortune don’t smile, she just laughs out loud,
I’m the black sheep wandering through the crowd.
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it fate or a curse carved deep in my skin
Or just the same bad story I keep living in
[Chorus]
Bad luck and trouble, shadow on my heel,
Every step I take, it’s too heavy to conceal.
I can’t shake it off, can’t lay it down,
Bad luck and trouble follow me around.
Will they EVER let me BE FREE
[Bridge]
I’ve prayed at the altar, I’ve cursed at the moon,
Still that old black hound sings the same sad tune.
If hope’s a river, mine’s running dry,
But I’ll keep on walking ‘til the day I die.
[Verse 3]
Cards on the table, but the dealer’s blind,
Every win I had was borrowed time.
Whiskey in the glass won’t drown the sound,
Of bad luck and trouble chasing me down.
[Verse 4]
I pawned my guitar for a tank of gas,
Chased down tomorrow, but it never lasts.
Every mile marker just mocked my name,
Trouble rides faster than a runaway train.
[Verse 5]
I took a job swinging hammer in the heat,
Sweat bought me bread but never relief.
Boss man said, “Son, you ain’t cut for this town,”
By nightfall the shadows had dragged me down.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Do I fight it or wear it like a crown
Is there mercy for a man who’s always bound
[Chorus]
Bad luck and trouble, shadow on my heel,
Every step I take, it’s too heavy to conceal.
I can’t shake it off, can’t lay it down,
Bad luck and trouble follow me around.
Will they EVER let me BE FREE
[Verse 6]
I met a woman with fire in her eyes,
She promised mercy and a sweet sunrise.
But the night she left, with the dawn she stole,
Bad luck kissed me deeper in my soul.
[Verse 7]
I walked through churches with prayers on my lips,
The preacher’s words slipped through my fingertips.
They said redemption was a road I’d find,
But trouble was waiting just one step behind.
[Verse 8]
I gambled in Memphis on a Saturday night,
Lost my last dollar in the neon light.
The dealer just grinned, said, “Boy, that’s your style—
Trouble’s been betting on you all the while.”
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Am I chasing the dark, or is it chasing me
Is there ever a place that I can be free
[Chorus]
Bad luck and trouble, shadow on my heel,
Every step I take, it’s too heavy to conceal.
I can’t shake it off, can’t lay it down,
Bad luck and trouble follow me around.
Will they EVER let me BE FREE
[Verse 9]
I hit New Orleans with a song in my chest,
But the blues there fit me better than the rest.
Every note I played, the crowd just knew,
Bad luck was the rhythm that carried me through.
[Verse 10]
I buried my mother on a cold gray day,
Even the preacher had nothing to say.
Rain fell harder as they lowered her down,
And trouble stood laughing without a sound.
[Verse 11]
Now I’m older, and the fire’s burned low,
Still walking the path I can’t let go.
If fortune won’t find me, I’ll wear my crown—
Of bad luck and trouble that still hang around.
[Pre-Chorus 4]
Was I born with a curse stitched into my skin
Or do I just keep walking where trouble’s been
[Chorus]
Bad luck and trouble, shadow on my heel,
Every step I take, it’s too heavy to conceal.
I can’t shake it off, can’t lay it down,
Bad luck and trouble follow me around.
Will they EVER let me BE FREE
