Hard Luck In Heaven Lyrics - The Golden West - Laurie Lewis & The Right Hands

While on this old Earth, Lord, I've suffered, I've cried 

Things don't work out, Lord, as hard as I've tried 

I'll have up in Glory a crown for my prize 

But knowin' my luck, Lord, it'll be the wrong size 

Hard luck in Heaven, please say it ain't so 

'Cause down here on Earth Lord, it's all that I know 

When I'm in my mansion, will the roof leak there too? 

Hard luck in Heaven, please say it ain't true 

I've always been hard luck, it's always been true 

So I'm not expecting any different from you 

When I get my wings, Lord, they won't fit me right 

I'll be flappin' in circles o'er the City of Light 

Hard luck in Heaven, please say it ain't so 

'Cause down here on Earth Lord, it's all that I know 

When I'm in my mansion, will the roof leak there too? 

Hard luck in Heaven, please say it ain't true 

Now, Lord, please forgive me for thinkin' this way 

But hard times just haunt me each night and all day 

When the angels start singin' and they pass out the harps 

Knowin' my luck, Lord, mine'll be tuned too sharp 

Hard luck in Heaven, please say it ain't so 

'Cause down here on Earth Lord, it's all that I know 

When I'm in my mansion, will the roof leak there too? 

Hard luck in Heaven, please say it ain't true 

Hard luck in Heaven, please say it ain't true
