I ain't got no four-leaf clover.
No lucky rabbit's foot.
I make my fate with my trashy mouth
and a fucking brutal right hook.
I don't crack fortune cookies.
I read busted knuckles instead.
And every bridge I ever burned
lit the road ahead.
If heaven's keeping score tonight,
I'm deep, deep in the red.
But I'd rather lose with both eyes open
than wake up worse than dead.
Two a.m. outside the bar,
blood drying on my sleeve.
The moon don't care who's right or wrong,
she just watched us choose to leave.
Your shadow fades in my rearview mirror.
The radio won't let me let you go.
I laugh like I don’t miss you.
Oh shit—what the hell do I know?
I ain't got no four-leaf clover,
no lucky charm to make things right.
I've spent my whole life keeping score,
just to lose you in the fight.
Formatting might be weird. I am on my phone. Been saving this for today because I am seeing the Old 97s in Napa.
