Lyrics
UNLUCKY GUY
Words and music by Jim Best
Verse 1
Unlucky Guy
At the airport or the grocery store I pick the wrong line
Unlucky Guy
My friend can beat a traffic ticket, I get a fine
If I buy a lottery ticket
You can bet every number is wrong
And at the bar the band won't play my
Favourite song
Verse 2
Unlucky Guy
When I pull up to a traffic light it always turns red
Unlucky Guy
When I meet a girl she says "I hear you're no good in bed."
If I go out dressed for sunshine
It's for sure that it's gonna rain
And when it does I'll probably get a
Splitting migraine
Bridge
Then one day
She was at the checkout counter standing in the slow line
She reached in her purse
She had a losing lotto ticket - I hoped she'd be mine
Knew she'd be mine
Verse 3
Unlucky pair
Our honeymoon in Vegas left us out in the street
Unlucky pair
We like to go out dancing but we got four left feet
They say that misery loves comp'ny
Well, bad luck loves it too
'Cause when you got somebody to share it
You'll never be blue
Coda
Never be blue
