Hard Luck Kid Lyrics - Singles - Street Dogs

Seems to me you were snake-bitten from day one 

Absent somehow when they shot off the right from the wrong gun 

Always swimming in the deep end of your troubled pool 

Opted for that asphalt as your chosen school 

Then you got shipped off to DYS 

Threw your life into a great big mess 

But you could care less. 

It's a tale of increasing woe 

You know how the story goes 

Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why? 

Once a shine in your mother's eyes 

Failed attempts now make her cry 

Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn? 

When will you ever learn?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

From Southie to Walpole you went from small to bigger crime 

Hanging out with cross colors crews, promoted to full time 

Kept up in step, upped your rep, by pulling those hold-up jobs 

Now you find yourself locked up with Cedar Junction mobs 

Murphy boy is locked down in the can 

Probably not part of the big plan 

Does he understand? 

It's a tale of increasing woe 

You know how the story goes 

Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why? 

Once a shine in your mother's eyes 

Failed attempts now make her cry 

Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn? 

When will you ever learn? 

Photos 

And I heard you just broke free from institution 

Will you turn on to the right path for solution? 

Cause I know inside there lies one more shot 

Do not be the guy redemption had forgot about, left behind, got passed over by a criminal mind 

Back to wrong, same old song 

Pete wake up, get back on top, while you still own some hope 

It's a tale of increasing woe 

You know how the story goes 

Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why? 

Once a shine in your mother's eyes 

Failed attempts now make her cry 

Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn? 

When will you ever learn?
