Just My Luck

Story Behind The Song

I wrote this tune during my first year living in New York City. Specifically this was written right after I got held up at knife point at an ATM machine. I had just come home from some touring and I actually had some money in my account. "Just My Luck" that they would hold me up after having enough money for a couple of months of living expenses in my account.
