I must`ve had a million damn unlucky days
But there ain`t no cloud that a bottle can`t chase away
I`ve done my deal of living, ran from place to place
But when the roof comes in I don`t wanna take it straight
They say with faith any soul can make it
But hell, why should I wait
`Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker`s parade
I`ve had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks
But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix
I`ve heard those holy brethren muttering my name
But it ain`t no sin to drink when you`re suffering
Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue
But hell, why should I wait
`Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker`s parade
When every heavy sky just empties on your fate
Sometimes keeping dry`s something to celebrate
So if the road of sin is the one I`m taking
I ain`t gonna stray
`Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker`s parade
